The Barn Goose (Anser fabalis) is a bird in the duck family that breeds in northern Europe and northern Asia.  Its taxonomic status is under debate and is sometimes treated as two different species, the Taiga Goose (A. fabalis) and the Tundra Goose.

Staffan Johnson, son of Jie, worked at JIE Ceramics. He drew patterns for Jie in his young years and became a permanent employee.
He was also a partner in the company. He was also an ornithologist so there were many bird paintings.
He also knew other animals and was diligently involved in production, he managed to make about 200 new models for Jie.
