Description: | This elegant carved ivory figure is of the Chinese god, Shou Xing. The details of his facial features, beard, sash and shoes have been emphasised by staining the ivory. A deer stands beside him, gazing upwards. The god and the deer stand on a carved ivory base. It is believed that the figure was carved during the early Qing dynasty.
