Item Value: $0.00
Title: Jade Deer with Longevity Herb
Country/Region of origin: China

Period/Age: Ming Dynasty AD 1368 - 1644
Primary material: Nephrite
Dimensions: H:5.0cm(2"),L:6.5cm(2 1/2")

Notes

This is a very auspicious symbolic Jade Antique. The Deer and the Lingzhi herb are both symbols of Longevity. The round  Jade river pebble is just given minimum 'carving' to bring out structure. Very pleasing to the eye and also a good fondling piece.

Note

The deer is noted for its robust health and vitality and in the Chinese  Qi-gong exercise of contracting the anus(copying the deer) is very beneficial,esp. for people with constipation. The benefits are too many to mention. JUST TRY IT for two weeks.

The Herb of Longevity(Lingzhi) in Chinese Medicine is considered as the herb that nourishes the essence of the spirit.
