Both the deer and the pine tree represent longevity, making the present snuff bottle an auspicious wish for a long life. The carver has skillfully incorporated the stone's natural dark inclusions into the foliage and, more strikingly, into the animal's coat, rendering it a spotted deer, revered in Daoism for possessing the ability to find fungus.
