Description.
Jade carved in a single piece, light in colour with brownish flecks. It depicts the figure of a young stag, with its legs tucked in towards the belly, except for one leg that leans forward. The head, crowned by two long horns, faces forward with large open eyes and a closed mouth. It is remarkable for the realism of the carving and the minuteness of the details. Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 8) or later.
