Recumbent deer 18th century China This small but beguiling sculpture captures an intimate moment as a recumbent deer scratches its muzzle with its left hind leg. This deer is a rare example of realistic sculpture from the Yixing kilns, which are famous for their tea wares but also produced small sculptures of animals, plants, nuts, and fruits from the eighteenth century onward. Recumbent deer. China. 18th century. Stoneware (Yixing ware). Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Ceramics
