Qilin-Pattern Official Hat Walnuts combine the finest textures and classic shape, merging visual appeal with tactile satisfaction. This walnut is both ornamental and play-friendly, embodying the perfect fusion of pattern and form.
Key Features
• Qilin Pattern Texture (Signature Highlight)
The surface is covered with complex, fine, layered Qilin-pattern grooves, resembling dragon scales.
Highly three-dimensional, this pattern delivers strong visual impact and a “wild, majestic” look.
• Official Hat Profile (Classic Structure)
Tall profile, prominent tip, sloped shoulders, and flat base—classic official hat (“Guanmao”) shape.
The body is broad, extended, and imposing, giving a solid, commanding feel in the hand.
• Combined Effect
Think of it as an official hat dressed in Qilin-pattern armor:
Structure (“bone”) from the official hat
Surface pattern (“skin”) from the Qilin texture
Play & Handfeel
Tactile Experience: Layered sensations—supportive firmness from the high profile and slightly sharp, stimulating Qilin texture.
Color Development & Patina: High-quality shells show strong contrast in pattern grooves and develop a pronounced jade-like transformation with play.
Visual Presence: The combination of majestic profile and intricate texture delivers a bold, impressive style, perfect for collectors seeking a “powerful aesthetic.”
Typical Sizes
Range: 40mm – 48mm
Mainstream Size: 42mm – 45mm, showcasing both profile and detailed texture optimally.
Important Notes
Official Hat Core: The walnut must retain tall profile, large tip, and sloped shoulders; it is a Qilin-pattern variant of the Official Hat type.
Pairing Difficulty: Qilin-pattern variability and official hat profile make well-matched pairs rare and highly valued.
Difference from Qilin-Pattern Lion Head:
Qilin Official Hat: taller, larger tip, sloped shoulders
Market & Availability: Recently popular via grafting, with stable supply and multiple options.

The size of these nuts are likely where most of the cost is coming from. At the end of the day, anything over $45 will start to lose its value, as you're usually paying for something collectable, scare, or large.
You definitely can tell they were matched decently well, and cleaned partially before shipping. Only one deeply seeded darkened spot remained, and it was easily cleaned with some picking and brushing. No yellowing or cracking. Overall, after a week or so, I can safely say these were a good choice to grab for the price!
Last to note that the seller responded to my email quickly and pleasantly when I sent a question in - thanks!
