How beautiful this lacquer box in shape of a deer. Could you believe it was created by ancient Chinese from 3,000 years ago? I recently found this from a museum of my home city.

mandarine duck
It was also buried in the tomb of the Yi, the ancient Chinese Marquis. Here is another one. It is an mandarin duck.
