The Immortal Li Tieguai
A bronze statue of a gaunt, barefoot man stands on a square base, his ribs and sunken belly showing through the loose robe. He tilts his head back with an open mouth, and a small gourd hangs at his right hip beside the folds of his garment.
Look closer: A small gourd hangs from the belt at the right hip, the attribute that identifies this immortal.
