Extremely Rare Early Chinese Jade Stamp Featuring A Qilin
Qilin Mythical Creature Jade Stamp. Extra fine and extremely rare example of an early Chinese Jade stamp with a classic Qilin, or horned ridged backed scaled unicorn sitting atop. This example has a distinct segmented tapering horn that folds back from its forehead. Made of well patinated’Chicken Bone’ Jade. The carving on the bottom of the stamp is a mystery. The Qilin is known as a good omen thought to occasion prosperity or serenity. In legend, the Qilin first appeared in the 5th Century B. It is said that Emperor Wu of Han captured one in 122 B. From the weathered and aged surface appearance we believe this to be an example from the period. There are age cracks in the base that are completely stable and show no signs of repair. Some old red ink is embedded in the cracks and elsewhere on the stamp. It has been inspected by a geologist employing 100X magnification and it was determined that the stamp is in a condition completely consistent with and resultant of known natural geologic weathering and aging principles. Well patinated light gray/brown’Chicken Bone’ Jade. 3cm Tall x 2.8cm Square. __________________________________________________ Jackson’s On Main sells high quality art and antiquities at excellent prices from both our extensive collection and from the private collections of our clients and various estates.
