Asset Overview

A qilin is a mythical creature that is part deer, part dragon, and part lion. It’s from the Han dynasty and was used to guard tombs from evil spirits and anyone who might try and steal the tomb’s treasures. High-resolution 3D model constructed from collections of the Johnson Museum, Cornell University, using photogrammetry. Added a hole near the shoulders so a string or chain could be fed through it and the qilin can be used as an amulet to ward off evil spirits.
