What does this mean?

Dear Teri,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a yellow metal alloy cloisonne statue with the measurements of 17 x 16 x 6 inches. This piece depicts the Chinese "God of Longevity" (Shoulao) sitting on a deer. His clothes and the collar of the deer are decorated with colorful cloisonne. This piece was made in China in the late 20th century in the tradition of Chinese art.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
