The deer on the top holds a lingzhi fungi lotus spray or lotus leaf, a motif that was popular in the Song dynasty. However, the combination of a deer with a ceremonial blade suggests it might have been copied from the woodblock print during the 18th century title: carving LICENSING --------- text license status:
