A striking vintage Chinese hand-carved wooden sculpture of Shou Lao (Shouxing), the Daoist God of Longevity, traditionally associated with longevity, wisdom, and good fortune.

Expertly carved from dark hardwood, the figure is instantly recognizable by his distinctive high, rounded forehead, flowing beard, and deeply carved scholar’s robes. His expressive posture and detailed carving capture the character of traditional Chinese folk sculpture. The figure stands upon an organically carved root-style wooden base, creating a natural transition between the sculptural form and its supporting plinth. The rich wood grain, aged patina, and intricate hand-carved details give the piece a commanding presence.

An exceptional decorative sculpture for collectors of Asian antiques, luxury residences, libraries, galleries, and refined contemporary interiors.
