An ebullient god of longevity, with the high forehead and whiskers of great age and wisdom stands holding a scroll which reads “Luck, Prosperity, Longevity.” His sympathetic appearance insures these boons for the possessor of his statue. Carved from a substantial tusk, the stained ivory bears a sumptuous patina of dark gold, with deep umbers in the crevices. It is dense and heavy. The figure is carved summarily without unnecessary detail, but the face is intricately rendered, with warmly smiling eyes, open mouth and soft flowing beard. He leans on a rustic staff to which is attached a gourd containing the elixir of immortality. The unsubstantiated date incised on the bottom, “Great Ming Dynasty.”
