Deer (lu) symbolize good fortune in Chinese culture. Spotted deer are often depicted alongside Shoulao, the God of Longevity, and sometimes shown pulling a cart of lingzhi, the fungus of immortality that only deer are believed can find. As seen in the present lot, deer are also depicted carrying a double-gourd to carry Shoulao’s longevity wine which she brews from the fungus.
