This carved soapstone figure depicts Shou Xing, the Chinese God of Longevity, traditionally associated with long life, wisdom, and good fortune. He is shown holding a staff and peach, classic symbols linked to immortality, and is carved with flowing robes and expressive facial detail.
The soapstone displays natural colour variation, with warm cream tones and darker brown veining that add depth and character to the figure. The sculpture is presented on a carved wooden stand and comes with its original fitted box.
This item is pre owned.
Condition
Very good pre owned condition overall as seen in photos. There is a small chip to the base, which does not affect the stability or overall display of the piece. Natural variations and markings are inherent to soapstone.
