568. Finely Carved Ruyi Scepter, Chinese

Ebonized wood scepter carved with 'lingzhi' fungus and other naturalistic curve designs. In Chinese, 'ruyi' means 'May you have', while the 'lingzhi' fungus is a symbol of immortality and the peach a symbol of longetivity. This 'ruyi' scepter therefore forms the rebus 'Wishing you a very long life'. Overall the piece measures approx. 16"L.
