I recently found at an antique shop a wooden carved figure depicting a turttle. But I was so happy to find that when you turn over the turttle you will find surprinsingly but the turttle converted into an old bearded man holding a solid wand in his right arm. I am aware of the meaning of turttle in chinese culture but I cant't recognize the old man. Is one of the Inmortals ? Please give me some feedback.
Thank you very much,
Oniro
