Chinese Soapstone Carving Elder Figure w/ Child Longevity Prosperity
Hand-carved Chinese soapstone figure depicting an elderly robed figure with a child attendant. The subject likely represents a traditional auspicious theme associated with longevity, prosperity, or familial blessings, commonly seen in depictions of Daoist immortals or the Three Star Gods (Fu, Lu, Shou).
The figure is carved with a calm, reserved expression and elongated facial features, including a high forehead and long beard. The child is positioned closely at the figure’s side, reinforcing themes of generational continuity and good fortune. Subtle hand-painted details remain visible throughout.
Soapstone shows natural variation in tone and inclusions, consistent with material.
