He holds a peach of immortality in his left hand and a staff with attendant symbols, gracefully posed upon a naturalistic rockwork base. Hand-carved in an expressive, flowing traditional style with rich dark reddish-brown tones, originating from the mid-20th century export period. Dimensions: 25.5cm h

Excellent overall vintage condition with a warm patina and intact carved details with no major cracks or structural damage noted.
