History & description

Museum Collection _ Not For Sale

The sculpture is a beautiful depiction of the Old Man of the South Pole, a prominent figure in Chinese mythology. Carved with meticulous attention to detail, the old man is shown with a serene expression on his face, radiating a sense of wisdom and tranquility. He is standing tall, one foot forward, with the tip of his shoe peeking out from under his long robes.

In his right hand, he holds a walking stick, which seems to be his trusted companion during his travels. His left hand is delicately balancing a jar of wine, a symbol of his love for leisure and enjoyment. The jar itself is carved with intricate designs, adding to the overall elegance of the sculpture.

The old man's attire is traditional and flowing, with rich textures and layers that add depth and complexity to the piece. The sculpture is a beautiful tribute to this legendary figure, capturing the essence of his character and spirit.

The jade material itself is highly prized for its metaphysical properties, and has long been associated with good luck, prosperity, and harmony. As a symbol of purity and serenity, jade has been used in spiritual practices for centuries, believed to enhance inner peace and wisdom, while also promoting physical healing and emotional balance.
