Hand Carved Wood - Three Gods Fuk Luk Sau or Fu Lu ShouImpressive Asian Three Lucky Wise Men are Fuk, Luk, Sau called Chinese or Japanese gods or
Fu (God of Happiness) 11 3/4" tall 4 1/2" wide, holding a basket
Lu (Prosperity and Wealth) 13" tall, 4 1/2" wide, holding a scepter which is not in the photo because it is missing but is being replaced with a thin bamboo chop stick lightly stained with scratchcover and looks good.
Shou (God of Longevity) 12 1/4" tall, 4 1/2" wide, holding a peach and looks like he has an octopus shaped head.
Popular deities of Wealth, Prosperity and Longevity.
They all have slight age cracks at the base 1/8" to 1/4" long but they are not noticeable and the wood is hard and solid but feels it has aged in the weight and dried over the years. I do not see any damage. One base has an old price sticker $180 that appears to be typed on with a typewriter from the 1940's or and is brittle and dry but still sticking on the bottom.
These wooden carvings came from the home of a retired US Navy Captain Doctor that traveled all over the world and lived in China and the Philippines. He lived in Santa Ana, California forty-seven years of which 20 were as retired.
