A red bat, a symbol of happiness, flies above an Immortal who holds a red lingzhi. He is accompanied by a deer drawn to the scent of the fungus which conveys immortality, an attendant carrying his staff, and a crane. The lifespan of all living creatures is written on the scroll suspended from the staff, a device associated with Shou Lao, the God of Longevity. This Immortal, however, lacks Shou Lao’s characteristic high forehead and aged appearance. Compare this figure to the more conventional Shou Lao on the large vase on the bottom shelf at the right. The immortal holds a red lingzhi, the fungus believed to convey immortality. He is accompanied by a deer drawn to the scent of the fungus, an immortal attendant, and a crane. A red bat flies above the group.
