DESIGN:
The decorative top depicts a graceful Qilin with finely sculpted facial features, a flowing mane, raised legs, and a curled ornamental tail. Openwork sections around the body emphasize the intricate carving-style craftsmanship and allow light to pass through the design.
The mythical creature stands above stylized clouds, while a small teardrop-shaped ornament hangs from the curled end. This delicate pendant moves gently when worn, adding subtle movement and visual interest to the hairpin.
The long hair stick has a polished surface and gradually tapered point, allowing it to slide comfortably into a bun, chignon, or twisted updo while leaving the detailed Qilin ornament clearly visible.
