A carved rhinoceros horn with landscape and figural decoration
19th century
The honey colored vessel elaborately carved and undercut as a large magnolia flower and secondary blossoms forming an imaginary landscape with Shoulao and his deer standing on one branch below tiered off-shoots of pine trees interwoven in the branches, set into an elaborate carved hardwood base echoing the same theme with Shoulao leaning toward a crouching deer in on a rocky mountain path carved with lingzhi plants.
12 1/2in (32cm) height of rhinoceros horn
18 1/4in (46.5cm) height including wood stand
