Magu, the Goddess of Longevity, is often regarded as the female equivalent of Shoulao. She is usually depicted with a deer pulling a cart of lingzhi, or carrying a basket filled with flowers and other auspicious objects such as double gourds, which contain the wine she brews from the lingzhi. First appearing in early Ming dynasty porcelain from Jingdezhen, her image became popularized during the Kangxi period.
