Qilin Room Guardian Commission
Design belongs to owner

I truly adore how this qilin came out. I was given a design with some artistic liberties. I had a lot of fun translating these colors into a room guardian.

This qilin has a tiger eye crystal heart. Its back stands about 6" tall. It has a coat of high quality faux fur and reversible sequins. The neck has a fully poseable plastic ball and socket armature inside that will not wear out over time. The forelegs and tail are also fully poseable with a wire armature inside. The horns are sculpted from instamorph plastic and are quite durable.

The bagh naka (Marathi: वाघनख / वाघनख्या, Hindi: बाघ नख, Urdu: باگھ نکھ‎) is a claw-like weapon from India designed to fit over the knuckles or be concealed under and against the palm. It consists of four or five curved blades affixed to a crossbar or glove, and is designed to slash through skin and muscle. It is believed to have been inspired by the armature of big cats, and the term bagh naka itself means tiger’s claw in Hindi.
