Black wood unicorn, China, early 17th century.
Black wood unicorn, China, early 17th century. A black wood figure of a qilin on a bed of waves, its head turned back looking towards its tail. There is a mark on the base with six characters that reads 'Hongwu Yuan nian wu zhong' (which gives the date 1369). However, the piece is certainly not Hong Wu (1368 - 1398) and probably dates to the early 17th century when many pieces have Hong Wu marks.
