A very nicely decorated plate with a scene of a Deer and A crane. A very subtle design.
The graceful crane is a common emblem in paintings. The five birds: crane, phoenix, mandarin duck, heron and wagtail represent the five Confucian relationships; in this case the crane stands for the key deference of son to father. Two cranes flying towards the sun represent ambition. A crane among clouds represent nobility; a pair of cranes represent a wish for long married life while a crane in pine trees a wish for a long life together.
Deer – Lu – longevity and also is the official emolument, honor, and success in study.
