This bronze statue of Jurojin was created approximately 100 to 150 years ago, between the Meiji and Taisho periods. The artist was Youzan 陽山. There are engravings on the bottom of Jurojin and the bottom of the turtle. This extremely auspicious statue of Jurojin holds a turtle in his left hand. In his right hand he holds what appears to be a small stick or fan. It is rare to see a Jurojin holding a turtle, so he is quite unusual. His expression is very peaceful. Jurojin is one of the Seven Lucky Gods, and is a deity that originated in Chinese Taoism. He is depicted as a short, long-headed old man, holding a staff and a fan, and accompanied by a deer. He is said to grant blessings of longevity, prolonging life, and curing various illnesses. High: 29.3 cm Width: 25.9 cm Depth: 25.3 cm Weight: 4,050 g Condition: The condition is generally good.
