From Pelikan:
"The Pelikan Kirin is the 5th and the final piece of the entire Pelikan Asia LE, they started off with the Dynasty, Phoenix, White Tiger, Xuan Wu and at last the KIRIN. The Kirin is described as the mythical animal with a Dragon head, snout of a pig, horns of deer, back of a tiger, waist of a bear, with body covered with scales; exuding an aura of mysticism with power to ward of evil.
Legend has it that the KIRIN was also very closely linked with the great philosopher Confucius. When his mother was carrying him in her womb, she met with a KIRIN in the woods. From the mouth of the KIRIN came forth a small piece of jade tablet with the word "Wen" (knowledge) inscribed; foretelling the imminent birth of a very special individual.
The fountain pen comes with the carved sleeve made of gold plated 925 Sterling Silver and the Yellow color on both the cap and nib section signifies the color of the imperial yellow which the Kirin is often used as the symbol of mandate and knowledge."
