拍品描述:拍品专文：Deer and cranes symbolize long life, as they are both companions of Shoulao, the god of Longevity. In addition, the Chinese word for deer is a homophone with the word for 'emoluments'. The deer and crane can also symbolize a married couple. Taken together with the pine tree, which is an evergreen, they form the rebus helu tongchun (may the couple be forever young). 来源：伦敦南肯辛顿佳士得, 2004年11月12日, 拍品编号471 索维尔珍藏
