Document source description

The two menuki on this tsuka are in the shape of standing Chinese figures. On the front is a woman holding a fan. She may be the Queen Mother of the West, who had an orchard of peaches that granted immortality. The figure on the reverse is a man carrying a peach on a tray. This is part of a mounted set.
