This print showcases the Chinese Star-god of Longevity, Shou-lao. Known as one of the three Daoist Gods representing Fu (Good fortune), Lu (Prosperity), and Shou (Longevity), this deity is depicted with a distinctively prominent forehead. In his hands, he carries either a gourd filled with elixir or a peach symbolizing longevity. The image captures the essence of ancient Chinese religious beliefs and traditions. The bald-headed figure exudes wisdom and serenity, while his long beard adds an air of reverence and authority. Clutching a walking stick, he seems to embody both strength and grace. Set against a backdrop that hints at China's rich cultural heritage, this statue stands as a testament to centuries-old spiritual practices in the country. Its intricate details reflect the craftsmanship prevalent during its creation in the 20th century. Photographed by CM Dixon, this remarkable figurine invites viewers to contemplate notions of divinity and immortality within Taoism or Daoism—the religion from which it originates. This snapshot serves as more than just an artistic representation; it offers us insight into China's deep-rooted belief systems. With its vibrant colors and lifelike portrayal of an elderly god-like figure, this print is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance for those interested in exploring different cultures' religious expressions throughout time.
