A spectacular boxwood carving of two figures from the Eight Taoist Immortals legend. The standing figure depicts Ho Hsien Ku, the goddess of health and well being. Here she is poised gently sideway, clinging to her right is basket of flower and two lotus buds by her waist side, with a flowing ribbon, a fly-whisk ties to her right wrist, and a wine cup in hand, she appears to be reluctantly accepting a drink offered by the seated immortal, Lu Tung Pin, the exorcist once saved her from a malignant demon in the wood. This carving displaying a variety of textures, folded and gathered fabrics of different weights, masterfully integrated the two Taoist figures with dramatic dynamism over an intricately carved pine tree pedestal.
