Mah-Jongg (lemur)
Mah-Jongg or Jongy was a ring-tailed lemur who was owned by Virginia and Stephen Courtauld. Jongy was purchased at Harrods in 1923 and lived with the Courtaulds for fifteen years, accompanying the couple on their travels and changes of residence. Jongy died at Eltham Palace, Greenwich, in 1938.
Jongy had his own room at Eltham Palace. The room was centrally heated with a ladder (made of bamboo) that accesses the entrance to the house.〔https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/discover/explore/modern/mah-jongg/〕
== Artistic representations ==
The Courtaulds had Jongy's likeness incorporated into artistic details of Eltham Palace. A mural of St Cecilia, painted by Mary Adshead and located in the Billiard Room of the Palace, features a lemur perched on the ledge between two painted columns. Jongy is featured in carved wooden roof bosses in the north bay of the Great Hall. In Leonard Campbell Taylor's portrait of the Courtaulds in the music room of another residence (47 Grosvenor Square) Jongy sits next to Virginia Courtauld, on the arm of her chair. Jongy's memorial consisted of a banded obelisk (in imitation of his tail) and a lead relief of the lemur. It was initially located at Eltham Palace but is now at the Courtauld's last home, La Rochelle in Zimbabwe.
