The Beautiful and Archaic Nephrite Jade Statue was carved from a piece of fine grained Nephrite Jade gemstone more than 200 years ago. The design is unique and very lovely and the carving is delicately performed. Carved with a lovable beast of Immortality crouching on the ground. This Shou Beast has a pair of dragon's horns and the tail of a lion and it's roaring loudly to show its stateliness. The beast is called Shou in Chinese and the word Longevity is pronounced as Shou also. Thus Chinese believe that the Shou Beast could bring longevity to its owner. Thus it's a so very good gift for Senior Citizens. The fish is a kind of auspicious animal in China. It is called YU 鱼 in Chinese and the word remaining is also called YU in Chinese. That it to say the fish is a symbol of remaining and people keep the fish in the hope of having enough food remains every year so they don?t need to worry about the problem of the famine, which signifies Flourishing Prosperous and Thriving.
