Qing Dynasty Chinese silver repousse qilin dragon pendant.
Early 1900’s. Collected by Rita in the 1980’s during her travels to China.
This is an antique Chinese Qing Dynasty hollow repousse sterling silver Qilin, a mythical hooved dragon.
Lovely detailed silver work.
Includes two bails on top and hole along edge of bottom.
May have been sewn on to clothing or textile or attached to necklace.
Repousse dragon has a slight dent on one side. As you can see from the photos, it's not very noticeable, but I wanted to mention it.
Pendant weighs 11.91 grams. 66 mm long, 46mm high back leg to back.
Very collectible and useful as a focal pendant!
As seen in the reference book “Four Centuries of Silver” by Margaret Duda.
