Shoulao, the god of Longevity, is one of the three most popular Daoist gods (Gods of Blessings, Prosperity and Longevity) in Chinese history. Also known as Shouxing or the God of the South Pole (Nanji Xianweng), he is usually depicted with a very prominent forehead and a long wispy beard. According to legend, he was born after nine years of waiting in his mother's womb and as an old man.
As one of the most auspicious figures in Chinese art during the Ming and Qing dynasty, Shoulao was widely represented in various materials such as jade, ivory, wood and bronze.
