Jade crane and deer with acanthus, Ming dynasty, China, 1368-1644. A whitish jade pebble carving of a stork and deer lying side by side holding between them an acanthus spray. The details are well carved. The stone is of greyish-white colour with brown veins. Both the crane and deer are associated with longevity and Daoism and were particularly popular subjects in the 16th century.
