Longevity God on Crane Roof Tile
According to Chinese belief, the roof of a building belongs to the spirit world and acts as a landing platform for spirits to descend and ascend from our world. The deep and underlying reason for roof decoration of buildings, temples, and palaces was to help this communication with the celestial world in order to attract in return good fortune, protection and blessings. This lovely reproduction of a Chinese Roof Tile depicts the God of Longevity perched atop a crane. The statue comes complete with a plexiglass stand and mounting screws. Dimensions: 14"W x 4.5"D x 10"H
