An Amber ‘Qilin’ Seal

Qing Dynasty, 17th-18th Century

HEIGHT: 6CM

The seal is fashioned from a block of irregular shape with a raised knop carved into the form of a back-turning qilin with the tail tucked under its chin. The translucent amber is of a bright reddish orange colour and displays fine crazing on the surface and traces of dark inclusions.
