He is the God of Longevity and of Old Age and the most venerable member of the SAN-XING happiness trio.* He always carries the Golden Peach of Immortality from Xi Wang Mu's Holy Peach Garden.** He is always old, bald, and happy with a big smile and a long drooping mustache. In this carving, he holds in his right hand a pronged staff sculpted as a branch of peach. His elongated and protuberant head leans towards his left shoulder. Being softer and amorphous, this stone does not take the high polish jade; hence, the choice of using Agalmatolite in this carving makes it less clean and sharp than those carved in jade. The deep lines and the high relief carving validate that this piece belongs to the Qianlong period. Agalmatolite was a name applied in the past; it is now labeled pyrophyllite. * The three stellar gods of good fortune, which is a favorite motif in Chinese folk art. They are historical personalities who were deified in recognition of the special merits they accumulated. The San-Hsing are: Fu-Xing (Lucky Star), Lu-Xing (Star of Honor) and Shou-Xing (Star of Longevity). See Doré, Researches into Chinese Superstitions, 1918 (Bibliography)."},{"label":"Title","value":"Shou-Lao (God of Longevity)"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
