VTG Chinese Daoist Diety Shou Lao - Long Life - Framed & Matted Wood Carving

This vintage Chinese wood carving depicts the Daoist deity Shou Lao, symbolizing long life and blessings. The artwork is framed and matted, showcasing intricate handmade craftsmanship. Originating from Chinese culture, this piece exudes traditional artistic flair and spiritual significance, making it a unique addition to any collection or space. Research on this particular item: Chinese text is roughly translated to:  "longevity is better than Nanshan Mountain" -- Other translation could be Shoubinan Mountain.  I've added an image from the Shoubinan Mountain Stone webpage in YunCheng, China as a reference that shows almost exact copy of the text.
