The beautiful brass image of the Chinese God of Longevity has been nicely carved out with a greater sense of refinement and gracefulness. The figure depicts a detail description of traditional long life deity. His name means ‘star of long life’. Old and bald, he always carries a Golden Peach of Immortality from XI-WANGMU's Holy Peach Garden. These are found only in Heaven and ripen once every three thousand years.
His long life came about by quite different means. Once he was a young and sickly lad named Zhao-Yen, who was destined to die when he reached 19. Told by a fortune-teller to enter a certain field armed with a packed lunch, he found two men playing checkers.
