Amulet seal - .800 silver - 1850-1900 - Antique Silver Qilin‑Boy

A traditional Chinese folk silver ornament of openwork and high‑relief craftsmanship, of scalloped outer contour. Decorated on both obverse and reverse sides with finished carving. The main motif depicts the “Qilin Sending a Son”: a lively boy seated upon a qilin, standing among stylised cloud scrolls surrounded by foliate ornaments, rendering rich three‑dimensional detail. Complete with original silver chain strung with antique red and green beads. Four bell‑shaped pendants hang below the main plaque. The silver bears mellow, accumulated old patina with genuine wear from long‑term usage. “Qilin Sending a Son” is a classic auspicious folk theme, symbolising flourishing offspring, blessings and good fortune. A fine example of antique Chinese wearable folk silver jewellery.
