Chinese Soapstone Carving of Shoulao with Peach

$40.00
A charming Chinese carving of Shoulao, the Daoist Star God of Longevity, rendered in a pale yellow-green soapstone.

The soft, opaque stone has an appealing subdued color and tactile, weathered character. Shoulao, recognizable by his elongated head and venerable appearance, is traditionally associated with longevity and good fortune. The use of a naturally rounded stone gives the carving an informal quality characteristic of small Chinese scholar's and devotional objects.
