Yes, Shou, holding two of his several attributes, a gnarled staff and the Peach of Immortality. A lot of these appeared in the 80s, colorful soapstone, nicely carved, many with blank bases for your own chop and a bargain considering the work involved. I would guess the carving and chop to be auspicious readings.

Thank you.
So you don't think these characters translate into English?

Yes, they very likely do, just as the symbols for the Star Gods. I just don't know what yours are. Shou for example also means longevity,long life. An auspicious example would be something like Double Happiness. See examples, hope this helps.

約 翰 一 書 3
我们是上帝的孩子

3 父（上帝）一直如此地爱着我们！甚至把我们称作他的孩子！我们的确是他的孩子！但是，世人（不相信的人）不理解我们是上帝的孩子，因为他们还没有认识上帝。

In other words, we are all children of the Lord (Jesus)

If the translator I used is correct, this is the translation for my chop?

1 John 3
We are God's children

3 Father ( God ) has been so in love with us ! We even called his children ! We are indeed his child ! However, the world ( do not believe the people ) do not understand that we are God's children , because they do not know God.

Thank you, all.
