This is an impressive set of three antique gilt bronze and enamel figures representing Fu, Lu, and Shou, the three star deities of fortune, prosperity, and longevity in traditional Asian culture. Each figure features a gilded silver-toned face and hands with a serene, smiling expression and a long flowing beard. They are dressed in vibrant, deep blue enamel robes decorated with polychrome floral, cloud, and auspicious symbol motifs, and each stands upon a gilded, cloud-patterned base.
The figure of Fu (left) is depicted holding a child. Lu (center) holds a ruyi scepter and a green ingot. Shou (right) holds a peach and a dragon-headed staff. The bases of the figures are marked with a cast seal. The pieces exhibit a rich, aged patina with fading gilding and minor enamel wear, adding to their historical character.
