Footnotes: 十八/十九世紀 糖白玉巧雕雙鶴獻壽擺件 Provenance: Bill Spiers George A. Cohen, by 1956 Trudy and John Cohen, collection no.H30 來源：Bill Spiers George A. Cohen, 1956年之前  Trudy及John Cohen伉儷，收藏編號H30 The crane is a symbol of immortality, and along with the deer, is often seen in the company of Immortals. In some popular displays for birthdays, the crane serves as the vehicle for Shoulao, the God of Longevity, bearing him aloft over the eight Immortals. Peaches are another symbol for longevity, and the two of them together in this piece, reinforce the desire and wish for a long and happy life.
