He Xiangu is one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism. She is believed to be a real person from the Tang Dynasty, whose original name was He Qiong. When she was in her teens, He Xiangu received instructions in her dreams to eat mica powder to avoid death, and she swore to remain unmarried for the rest of her life. She did so and became a prominent Taoist practitioner.
In this exquisite sculpture, He Xiangu sits calmly on a contorted and knotted raft, surrounded by green ivory-colored waves. In front of her is a bamboo basket filled with objects associated with Taoist immortality, and she holds a lingzhi mushroom in her hand.
