This striking vintage cloisonne enamel figurine depicts a deer carrying a double gourd on its back, a traditional symbol of longevity, prosperity, and good fortune. The deer is finely crafted with intricate wirework separating enamel cells on a turquoise ground, featuring a dense pattern of scrolling floral and foliate motifs in shades of red, pink, yellow, and white. The figure features gilded antlers, ears, hooves, and tail. The double gourd resting on its back is finished in gilt metal with raised, embossed characters including "壽" (Longevity) and "福" (Good Fortune), along with bat and coin motifs. The underside bears an embossed, square seal mark containing the characters "大明宣德" (Great Ming Xuande). This piece is a striking example of traditional cloisonne craftsmanship and makes a distinguished decorative accent.
