At half a metre tall, a qilin is a piece of furniture. It is cast in sections on a sand mould, welded together, then chased by hand — the scales on the body and the curl of the mane are all cut after assembly, because the mould cannot hold that detail across a joint.

4.2 kg of solid brass. It has an honest weight to it, and that is the thing to check with large brass: reject any version that feels light for its size, because lightness means hollow casting or a resin core. Felt pads on the feet.
