<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoIke, post: 7834134, member: 112092&quot;]I&#039;m on a roll this year! My most recent acquisition is yet another, misidentified and/or unresearched piece by its former owner. Again, obtain for a peep(not a song) and appears to be an unrecorded Ming Dynasty example. This thing is stunning!!! Its actually inlaid with gold, not just gilded. It falls in one of my top 10 finds,.......................most probably equal to one of you all finding or obtaining one of your top 10 ancient coins. She&#039;s small (3 inches) and weighs nearly 1 lbs.</p><p><br /></p><p>An <b><u>actual MING</u></b> similar comp was sold at Bonhams some years back (please see link just below).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Link:</b> <a href="https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20365/lot/535/?category=list" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20365/lot/535/?category=list" rel="nofollow">https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20365/lot/535/?category=list</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And 2 other later <span style="color: #ff4d4d"><i>(19th/early-20th Century <b><u>NOT</u></b> Ming as these auction houses described) </i></span>examples are linked below...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Link:</b> <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/81083782_a-bronze-qilin-scroll-weight-ming" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/81083782_a-bronze-qilin-scroll-weight-ming" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/81083782_a-bronze-qilin-scroll-weight-ming</a></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Link:</b> <a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/a-bronze-figure-of-a-qilin-ming-dynastythe-19388-c-e8d8e5edf7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/a-bronze-figure-of-a-qilin-ming-dynastythe-19388-c-e8d8e5edf7" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/a-bronze-figure-of-a-qilin-ming-dynastythe-19388-c-e8d8e5edf7</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1346659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1346660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1346661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1346662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1346663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1346664[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
