A Chinese bronze kylin censer, 18th/19th century, modelled as a crouching kylin with its head turned to the left, tight curls to its mane, dragon's ridge with flames to body, tight curls all down to its paws and suspended flame-shaped tail, hinged head with a later fitting under the chin, standing on a ruyi-cloud rosewood stand, 80cm overall height. Note: 'crouching' pronounced in Mandarin 'fu', also can be translated as 'bring under control' or 'destroy', Chinese mythological beasts in crouching posture play a significant role of protecting the house from evil spirits. As a propitious symbol they would often be placed at temples, scholars' college and homes, in the main passage between the front door and the main hall.
