Description

A ZITAN FIGURE OF A DEER HOLDING LINGZHI, 18TH CENTURYChina. Superbly carved in a recumbent posture with the hind legs drawn in and the front legs bent with the hooves placed together, the muscular body of the stag is well detailed and further accentuated by the characteristic natural ‘crabs claw’ marks of the wood, the face with neatly incised round eyes and funnel-shaped ears, the animal grasping a large, naturally carved lingzhi sprig in its mouth.Provenance: English trade.Condition: Fair condition with old wear, expected age cracks to the wood, some with associated losses and old fills, minute losses to the antler tips, all more or less as expected from a zitan figure with an age of 300 years or more. Elegant, naturally grown patina with a decent, lustrous shine overall.Weight: 255.9 gDimensions: Length 12 cmExpert’s note: In ancient Chinese mythology, deer were considered to live a thousand years and believed to be the only animals capable of finding lingzhi, and so as in the present lot, are often portrayed holding the sacred fungus in their mouth. The deer is also a foremost Daoist emblem of longevity and the inclusion of lingzhi in the depiction is generally regarded as adding further to the symbolism. Thus, Shoulao and Magu, the God and Goddess of Longevity, are often accompanied by deer. Finally, deer are also a symbol of wealth since the Chinese word for deer, lu, is a homonym for the salary of an official.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 3 April 2017, lot 3047 Price: HKD 875,000 or approx.
