A Well Modelled Bronze Figure of Liu Hai

The youthful Immortal standing with long flowing sleeves and his right foot resting on a double gourd.

From which issues a twisting trail of smoke

Dangling a string of cash in front of his three legged toad which is held in his left hand

A hole above his back for incense

Chinese Late Ming

Height; 4 1/4″ (10.7 cm)

Condition; excellent, good patina

Liu Hai is a Daoist immortal who kept a three-legged toad as companion

The toad often ran away, but would come back every time Liu dangled a string of cash

Hence Liu and his toad have become a symbol of wealth
