David,
How about informational post featuring a certain maker... (without selling anything), just for general knowledge, a feature on his worksmanship. Does it goes to swap forum too?
About the Kirin (Japanese) Qilin or Kilin (Chinese), it does looks interestingly different, isn't it?
There are Chinese Kilin too... in this case, it may be of chinese influence,... in Java.
In the Chinese hierarchy of mythological animals, the Qilin is ranked as the third most powerful creature (after the
dragon and phoenix), but in Japan, the Kirin occupies the top spot. The Japanese Kirin is more 'deer-like' compared with the Chinese Kilin. For this example... the proportion seems 'top heavy'.
