East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. late 18th to early 19th century CE. An ornate sculpture representing a hermit and child carved from Kranghung (rosewood). The hermit is holding a peach which symbolizes eternal life and peace. According to the legend, the hermit is refusing to give the child the peach, because the youth does not yet possess enough experience in life.
