Simplified Chinese? Less than 50 years old?

It is simply amazing for llidabomb to say that the writings on the statues are in "simplified chinese". I wonder if he/she really knows how to read Chinese at all.

Further more, except one hole right below the right eye does say "eye pain", the other terms are just simply names of the accu points, and not exactly what each accu point will cure.

Actually, these Chinese characters seem to be traditional Chinese to me and they were calligraphed quite well. Both statues seemed to be very pretty old pieces to me, definitely more than 50 years old. Of course this is only my amateur opinions.

P.S. By the way, Mike, welcome back.
