      This one looks like it is Nepalese or Tibetan...just glancing at Tibetan written symbols, there is closer similarity with Tibetan symbols. Maybe you can decipher.

      The qilin or Chinese unicorn is a mythical beast that symbolizes good luck and prosperity. According to tradition in China, Korea, and Japan, a qilin would appear to signal the birth or death of a particularly benevolent ruler or sage scholar.
