About the Item

A beautifully and completely hand crafted and carved from a root, the Holy man, Immortal Li. A complement to the space it finds itself. The hermit Li Tieguai by Huang Shen, 1757 Traditional Chinese 李鐵拐 Simplified Chinese 李铁拐 Transcriptions Li Tieguai (Chinese: 李鐵拐; lit. 'Iron Crutch Li') is a figure in Chinese folklore and one of the Eight Immortals in the Taoist pantheon. He is sometimes described as irascible and ill-tempered, but also benevolent to the poor, sick and the needy, whose suffering he alleviates with special medicine from his bottle gourd. He is often portrayed as an ugly old man with a dirty face, a scraggly beard, and messy hair held by a golden band. He walks with the aid of an iron crutch and often has a gourd slung over his shoulder or held in his hand.[1] He often is depicted as a clown figure who descends to earth in the form of a beggar[2] who uses his power to fight for the oppressed and needy,[3] and to heal others.[2] A wonderful compliment to a console or side table, and perhaps and Altar. he organic nature is an asset to any space.
