We are offering a complete and beautifully detailed set of the Eight Immortals, a revered group of legendary figures in Chinese mythology and Taoism. These figurines are in excellent condition and capture the individual character and symbolism of each deity. The Eight Immortals, known as Baxian in Chinese, are a group of deities who represent a cross-section of humanity: men, women, the old, the young, the poor, the rich, and the common. They are believed to bring good fortune, happiness, and prosperity. Displaying them together is a powerful symbol of harmony and good luck. Each figure is meticulously crafted and painted in a traditional palette, with fine details on their robes, faces, and individual attributes. This set includes all eight of the immortals, each with their iconic and symbolic items: * He Xiangu: The only female immortal, often seen holding a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and beauty. * Cao Guojiu: The patron saint of actors and theater, typically holding a pair of castanets. * Li Tieguai: The cripple, often depicted with a crutch and a gourd of medicine, representing his ability to heal. * Lan Caihe: A gentle and effeminate immortal, carrying a basket of flowers. * Lü Dongbin: The scholar-swordsman, holding a magic sword to ward off evil spirits. * Han Xiangzi: The flute player, bringing life to all living things with his music. * Zhang Guolao: The old sage, known for riding a paper mule backward. * Zhongli Quan: The leader, often holding a fan to revive the dead. These statues are substantial in size and presence, making them a perfect decorative item for a meditation room, a traditional-style living room, or a collection of Asian art.
