A deer with a openwork body: the turquoise torso is cut through in two places, so the light passes through it, and the neck and face are polished gold. Branches of red blossom stand in for the antlers.
Sheng cai you lu – ‘a deer that brings wealth’ – is the saying this piece carries: cai is wealth or takings, and the deer (lu) sounds like the word for a salary. A deer with its head lifted is the wish for money coming in, and the openwork body is what makes the piece read as a modern object rather than a traditional one.
Two sizes are available: the small deer stands 58 cm tall on a black cube base, the large one 107 cm. Both are the same sculpture – the large one is simply scaled up and weighs 18.5 kg.

Because every piece is finished by hand, the depth of the colour and the small details vary slightly from one piece to the next. Screens also show colour a little differently. That variation is normal and is not a fault.
