Product Description

introduce: This toad is not an ordinary toad. It has three legs. Unlike other toads with four legs, it can spit out money. Legend has it that it was originally a goblin. Later, it was subdued by Liu Haixian. It changed its evil ways and helped the poor everywhere, spitting out money. Therefore, it was later regarded as an auspicious beast of wealth. There are many legends about Jin Chan. The most recognized one is that Liu Hai, a disciple of Dongbin, practiced Taoism. He liked to travel around the world, had profound skills, subdued demons, and benefited the world through alms. One day, he subdued the golden toad demon who had been harming the people for many years. In the process, the golden toad was injured and one of its legs was broken off, so he only had three legs left in the future. From then on, the golden toad surrendered to Liu Hai's sect. In order to atone for his merits, the golden toad used his unique skills to bite into the gold and silver treasures, helping Liu Hai to benefit the world, help the poor, and spread money. People were surprised by it and called it the fortune toad. The three-legged toad naturally likes gold and silver treasures, has a keen insight into money, and is very good at digging for financial resources. Zen Master Liu Hai loved giving to the poor throughout his life, and with the help of the three-legged toad, he helped countless poor people. Since then, the three-legged toad has been recognized as a treasure that attracts wealth. This gilt Bronze"Mother and Child Three-Legged Toad" ornament has part of the gilt Bronze peeling off. After years of baptism, the surface of the golden toad has shown a natural Bronze. This patina has formed a layer of patina over time. The thick oxide layer seems to be a mark of history. The appearance of Bronze not only gives the "Mother and Child Three-legged Toad" a primitive atmosphere, but also makes the entire work show a classic and warm luster under the light. Taken together, this work shows natural curves and texture, lifelike charm, vivid eyes, coordinated muscle proportions, and outstanding three-dimensional effect, making the whole work look full of three-dimensionality and the overall shape has great charm. The three-legged golden toad is the god of wealth. It has three legs and can spit out a copper coin with one step. In ancient times, it was believed that getting it can make you rich. This ornament is shaped like a big golden toad with a small golden toad on its back, which means "wealth will increase, wealth will roll in". The Bronze is excellent, the surface is naturally patinated, and the base is "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty". Personal judgment should be that it is a work from the Republic of China period. The craftsmanship is exquisite and beautiful, and it means prosperity, happiness and beauty. It is worth collecting. Let the "Mother and Child Three-Legged Toad" accompany you and create a new realm of wealth! https://youtu.be/Vc-PATysdqI?si=Us1fNBQs6hMf7cjm
