Watchtower
A green lead-glazed earthenware model of a multi-story watchtower rises from a broad round basin. Figures play instruments on the balcony and water birds, a deer and other animals perch on the rim and within the pool, showing a miniature estate pond.
Look closer: A small deer stands on the far right rim of the basin, partly hidden by the foliage-like pond edge.
