Regular price
$360.00
Presented is a wonderful old Chinese bronze figurine of an old man with a walking stick. The figurine depicts Shou Lao, a Chinese god of longevity, one of three wise men. The walking stick is real wood, and can be taken out of the figure's hand. The other hand holds a peach, We are not certain of the age of this piece, but it is without a doubt antique, possibly as old as the 1700s.
This piece is in great overall condition. The walking stick is likely a replacement, though it is a very good one if so, very nicely done. The patina is as you see it. There are no breaks and no repairs. The figure stands about 6 1/8 inches tall.-jm
