"God Of Longevity (late 19th - Early 20th Century)"
This exquisite sculpture of Shoulao, the god of longevity, was created between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is carved from a single block of remarkably clear rock crystal, revealing the mineral's purity. The sage is depicted with his traditional iconographic features: a high forehead, a sign of wisdom, and a benevolent smile. The fine details, particularly in the movement of the beard and drapery, testify to the skill of the artisans of this transitional period. A symbol of health and peace, this Shoulao is a precious example of hardstone sculpture, capturing the light with timeless elegance.
