A large Chinese embroidery work of art presented in a carved gilt frame. Circa late 19th century. The impressive work depicts well beloved Chinese God of longevity Shouxing
Shouxing (The Star of Longevity, also known as The Old Man of the South Pole). He is the Taoist deification of Canopus, the brightest star of the constellation Carina. Always depicted as a healthy old man donning a long white beard, he holds a staff sometimes with Lingzhi other times with a gourd that contains elixir and is accompanied by a deer.
The silk embroidery work was very finely done with tight needle work and various styles of stitches. The painstaking details throughout the piece are visually stunning. less
