Each figure depicts an old man displaying an opened scroll, he carries a long staff and is accompanied by a deer. It is possible that he depicts the star god of longevity; Shoulao and the original purchaser chose to have two, left and right facing for double long life or perhaps just to grace a mantelpiece.

The wood is dense and hard and so quite heavy. The eyes are formed from black and white glass, just black for the deer. The sculptures have a fine old patina and will respond to the application of some beeswax polish.

Approximately 14.1/4 inches (36.2 cm) high. In fine and original condition except that the tip of one staff has been off and glued back, noted in the photographs.

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. I am sorry but I cannot accept a cash transfer payment by Western Union as I don’t have an office nearby.
