'The Three Star Gods' Porcelain Sculptures, Set of 3 - Medium
Fu (good luck), Lu (high rank and fortune), and Shou (longevity) are considered the three essential elements for a happy life in Chinese Culture.
Representing a family-oriented culture - the God Fu is depicted with a child in his arm.
Wearing a hat of a high official in the emperor's court, the God Lu represents good fortune. As a society based on Confucius's scholar-statesman philosophy, the way to acquire good fortune was first to receive a good education and then to become a high-rank official. He is always in the centre of these three.
The long-bearded old sage is the God of longevity, Shou. He is always seen with a peach in his hand which is a symbol of longevity in Chinese mythology.
Made of porcelain and in an irresistible colour palette, the three Gods are seen in households to bring positive Feng-Shui.
