Pair of Stunning Vintage Solid Brass Chi Lin (Chinese Unicorn) Feng Shui Figurines 90 x 80 mm

This item is secondhand and in good condition. Chi Lin is a mythical animal shaped like a Chinese Dragon with one, or sometimes two, antlers with similarities to the Western Unicorn. Hence, the Chi Lin is also translated as Chinese Unicorn. The Chi Lin is also a famous creature in Chinese Feng Shui, believed to symbolize wisdom, fortune, prosperity, and long life. Typically it always features the head of a dragon with one or two horns (antlers), the body of a deer/horse, the tail of an ox, and scales of a carp fish, making the Chi Lin a chimeral creature (a mixture from two or more different animals). The Chi Lin embodies all of the five Feng Shui elements - earth, wood, water, metal and fire. These two up for auction appear to favour the Feng Shui element of prosperity as they are standing on a pile of coins. One figurine is slightly smaller than the other - the smaller one measuring 85 x 85 mm, and the larger measuring 85 x 90 mm. Please view images as part of description. Welcome to combine items.
