Chinese jade carvings of three Qilin on carved display stands. All resting together in a relaxed and tranquil look. Large semi ferocious faces with single horns erecting from their heads. Sharp spine-like protrusions carved along their backs that lead to their tails. Portrayal of a mother looking after its young can be clearly seen through its masterfully delicately potted expression. All resting upon a large hardwood stand with detail carved in relief.
