This exceptional bronze sculpture, attributed to the 16th/17th century Ming Dynasty, captures a Daoist immortal standing gracefully atop a wave-washed rock. The figure is depicted with long flowing hair and beard, wearing fluttering robes that reveal his midsection—a characteristic nod to the detailed artistry of the period. In his left hand, the immortal gently strokes a crane, a symbol of longevity, while his right hand is outstretched, holding what appears to be a container for joss sticks, often associated with religious rituals.

The intricate casting techniques used in this bronze piece highlight the Ming Dynasty’s commitment to craftsmanship. The patina, developed over centuries, lends a rich depth to the surface, enhancing its visual appeal and underscoring its historical significance. Measuring approximately 27 cm in height, this sculpture embodies the spiritual and cultural essence of Daoist tradition.

This piece stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Chinese religious art and its timeless ability to captivate collectors and historians alike. 10 3/4h x 4w x 4d
