I bought this from an antique shop for my birthday last year...
I'm sure it's a Qilin. The shop were selling it as a 'cloud dog' so shows how much research they put in!
scales like a dragon or fish...
walking on water? I guess this is why they called it 'cloud dog'. poor effort guys...
hooves like a horse
...and antlers like a deer.
According to legend, the Qilin refuses to step on living plants and will not eat living things.
Considered a harbinger of auspicious events
Also a symbol of well-being and good fortune.
