拍品专文

Magu, the Goddess of Longevity, is often regarded as the female equivalent of Shoulao. She is usually depicted with a deer pulling a cart of lingzhi or a vat of longevity wine which she brews from the fungus. First appearing in early Ming dynasty porcelain from Jingdezhen, her image became popularized during the Kangxi period.
