A Chinese (?) carved cream-and-black-coloured sandstone figure of a Tung Fang-So with a staff (not located), peach and boy attendant. It consists of an elderly man, with a beard and pointed head, who is standing holding a curved staff in his left hand. In his right hand, he holds a peach. Standing to his left is a small boy, who is grabbing the staff with both hands, whilst gazing upwards to the elderly man. Both figures are blurred by a rocky carving to their upper and lower torsos. The sculpture stands on a black coloured oval-shaped base. According to the Sherrin Collection Catalogue List, the sculptures is of 'A Tung Fang immortals and their attributes'.
