Jade group of sage, wine pot, deer and children, Yuan-early Ming dynasty, 13th-15th century. A white-flecked celadon green jade group consisting of a sage seated with his back to a large wine jar with a lotus leaf plug cover. There are two supine deer and a boy at the back and left side of the group. On the left three boys are playing, two holding a fungus spray. The boys are placed so as to form two rests for brushes, which suggests this piece was made for use in a scholar's studio.
