Life and Death

Look closely at the Buddha's hair. What appears to be curls are actually skulls and the heads of the Qilin.

This imagery represents the profound cycle of Samsara. The death of the Qilin gives birth to new life. It is a reminder that protection and destruction, life and death, are intertwined. The fierce energy of the beast transforms into the eternal stillness of the Buddha.

The Guardian

In Vietnamese culture, the Qilin (or Asian Unicorn) is a benevolent creature. A hybrid of a dragon and a horse, it is fierce in appearance but vegetarian and kind in nature.

It serves as a powerful spiritual shield, warding off bad luck and bringing prosperity to the home. This sculpture acts not just as decor, but as a guardian for your sanctuary.

About the Sculptor

Nguyen Tuan Hoang has a deep spiritual connection with the Qilin, stemming from his childhood days performing in traditional Lion Dance troupes.

This piece was hand-sculpted over two weeks using Chamotte clay—a gritty, raw material known for its incredible durability and ancient texture. Fired at high temperatures, the work achieves a stone-like hardness that will endure for generations.

"I wanted to capture the moment where fierce protection meets eternal peace. It is the balance of the universe in a single face." — Nguyen Tuan Hoang.
