According to Chinese tradition, the deer is the only animal able to locate the lingzhi fungus, and is often depicted alongside this mushroom endowed with mythical properties linked to longevity, immortality, and health. The rise in popularity of Taoist ideas towards the end of the Ming Dynasty encouraged the production of deer models, reflecting their symbolic and spiritual significance. <br \/>\nThe rare pair of stag\u2019s head wall trophies that we now present at auction serves as a fascinating example of the amalgamation of Chinese beliefs and the European tradition of hunting trophies.<br \/>\n<br
