Chinese Immortal Shao Lao White Marbled Soapstone

Description

Chinese Immortal Shao Lao White Marbled Soapstone
Wonderful soapstone carving of Shao Lao, one of the 3 Immortals. This
smiling Shao Lao has a good presentation and is depicted in a flowing robe, with a flaming dragon-headed staff, and carrying a peach. Shao Lao is the personification of longevity and immortality.
Dimensions are approximately 9 1/2 inches tall, 2 1/2 inches on base. There are a couple of mars, two very
noticeable
nicks on back, and a couple less
noticeable
on right side front of robe. As a collector of soapstone carvings, I do not consider these that bad.There is no breakage, or chips, or significant scratching. I think this to be a more modern piece, perhaps 1950's thru 1970's and is not laser cut like more contemporary carvings. Base is square with one angled corner. Is is primarily white, with grey flecks and marbling, not a stained piece.
