Statuette of deer in wood with remains of polychromy on the back, represented lying down, legs folded under the body, head turned to the right.

- Wah Kee Works of Art, Hong Kong (2000)
- Private collection, France (acquired from the latter then by descent)
NOTE
An analysis conducted on the work in 2001 by the Centre de datation par le radiocarbone de l'Université
Claude Bernard University indicates that "The radiocarbon content of the wood extracted from the deer carving shows that this wood grew between the XXVIIIth and XXVth century before now, which allows us to assume that a statuette carved in this wood may be ancient."
