He's an imposting figure and does deserve to be on a pedestal. The perfect place for him!
I love the creaminess of the material that he's made of -- he's detailed but not too much. He stands on a small rosewood stand atop the pedestal.

Asian art is a big part of Linderhof. And a big part of our Asian art is in the dining room. Jim's Green Man started it all!
It's Saturday -- time for Pink Saturday -- please join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for other pink Saturday participants.

I love the blend of east and west at Linderhof - it's delightful, restful and always interesting.
DB -- I'm not sure -- but we do love him!
I, too, was thinking rose quartz or a pink marble- just lovely!

It looks like jade.
Wow...thats beautiful. We have a friend who is a professional iceskater and traveled all over the world touring. He has several pieces like this and they are made of jade. Most of his are green but he has a few this color as well. His wife doesn't like them and has them put up on a shelf in the kitchen corner..such a shame because they are so pretty! I'm happy to see your sitting out in the open! Yours is just beautiful as well!! Thanks for sharing!
His name in Chinese is 寿星 - shou xing. He is the god of longevity in Chinese myth. Mostly made of jade or something else I don't know how to translate in English.
PS: I love your beautiful garden. :-)
He sure looks like he is made of Jade to me. Although most people think of Jade as being green, it comes in many color and a common type of Jade is the tan color. He seems to have all the characteristics of Jade.
G'day Martha ~ I love your statue ... I love Oriental art of any sort.
Have a lovely PINK summer's eve ~
