The motif is of Li Tieguai ( a Daoist Immortal ) holding a gourd, the vapor from the which produces a mirage of a pavillion; the moon on a cloud; a flying bat; a flying paradise catcher. Reverse: a tree with a flying feng-huang bird. Below it a dog chases a rabbit. Lion birds with wings on shoulders. |
