Kirin Statue | Brass, Copper & Sterling Silver | Coppertist.Wu

Mythic, commanding, and extraordinarily detailed, the Kirin Guardian Statue by Coppertist.Wu is a true statement piece — part sculpture, part symbolic talisman, and part showcase of obsessive metal craftsmanship.

Inspired by the legendary Kirin of East Asian mythology, the figure is traditionally associated with peace, prosperity, protection, and the arrival of benevolent fortune. Here, that symbolism is rendered through a richly layered mixed-metal sculpture covered in more than 1,000 individually sculpted scales, flowing cloud-like forms, and intricate ornamental detail.

Brass, copper, and oxidized 925 sterling silver work together to create striking shifts in tone and depth across the body. The sculpted mane, armor-like scales, curling forms, and decorative waist belt give the piece a sense of movement from every angle, while the substantial 630 g weight gives it the physical presence of a true collector object.

This is one of those pieces you notice from across the room — and then keep finding new details in once you get closer.

✨ About Coppertist.Wu
Based in Hong Kong, Coppertist.Wu creates highly detailed jewelry and sculptural objects that blur the line between adornment, collectible art, and miniature engineering.

Each piece begins as an original concept and moves through intricate modeling, material selection, casting, finishing, and hand-detailing. Their larger sculptural works push that process even further, combining mythology, movement, texture, and mixed metals into objects designed to be explored rather than simply displayed.

✨ Care
● Display on a stable, dry surface
● Avoid prolonged moisture and harsh chemicals
● Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth
● Do not use abrasive cleaners on oxidized or mixed-metal areas
● Natural patina may develop over time and add character to the piece
