Small-Leaf Boxwood Qilin Sculpture - Palm-Sized Celestial Guardian Quality Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from rare small-leaf boxwood, this exquisite Qilin sculpture draws inspiration from China's ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shanhaijing)—where the mythical beast is described as a benevolent celestial guardian. 

The Qilin is majestically depicted carrying a sacred scroll upon its back, an enduring symbol of wisdom and divine blessing. Each finely carved scale captures the mythical creature’s majestic presence, rendered with intricate artistry. Measuring a palm-sized 7cm, this sculpture merges classical mythology with quality craftsmanship.

Natural Wood Characteristics

• 100% authentic boxwood – Each piece is hand-carved from solid wood without artificial aging treatments (e.g., stains or lacquers).
• Height: 7cm (2.76 inches).
• Unique wood grain variations – Natural features like dark veins, mineral streaks, or small knots may appear, adding to the organic charm of each carving (these do not affect quality).

Notes Before Purchase

• Patina develops gradually through oxidation and hand oils, deepening the wood’s hue over years.
• Minor imperfections (e.g., dark spots, heartwood lines, or knots) are inherent to natural wood and reflect its authenticity.
