📜 Story Behind the Craft
In traditional culture, the deer is more than a gentle creature—it is a symbol of nobility, immortality, and fortune. This piece reimagines the deer in motion, gracefully charging through auspicious waves with a lingzhi in its mouth.
The sacred fungus, often seen in tales of immortality, merges with the deer—whose pronunciation mirrors “lu”, meaning official prosperity. Together, they represent a journey toward flourishing blessings and dignified longevity. The rising motion conveys hope, action, and an unwavering pursuit of the future.

🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
The artwork is handwoven on jacquard looms using Nanjing’s time-honored Yunjin silk weaving method. Fine gradations in gold and blue tones are achieved through layered weft embroidery, while the deer’s streamlined form is accented with vivid red detailing—conveying grace and movement. The use of metallic threads adds shimmer to the background, elevating both texture and depth.
