Piece from Woman's Headdress, Qing dynasty (1644-1911), 19th century. Kingfisher's feathers, metal, 6.2 x 4.4 cm. Philadelphia Museum of Art, Gift of Mrs. Benjamin S. Linfoot, 1979-154-4.

 This decorative plaque, possibly once part of a headdress, is imbued with good wishes for long life: the god of longevity, Shoulao, identified by his large forehead and long flowing beard, is preceded in the foreground by a deer, a crane, bamboo, and a lingzhi fungus, all symbols of longevity.
