Cast from traditional red resin. Sits on a protective Bagua (an 8 sided shape symbolizing all aspects of one's life). He comes complete with an extra coin to carry in his mouth for extra Prosperity! This mythical creature is said to appear every full moon near homes that will receive good news of increased wealth or monetary gain. They are called "Chan Chu" in Chinese but are more commonly known as the Money Frog. In ancient China, these mythical frogs are believed to be the bearer of good fortune, which is why you see them bringing a string of coins with them. The three-legged money frog holds a Chinese Coin in its mouth and sits on a protective bagua or a pile of coins. It is usually placed near cash registers or in a wealth corner (the furthest back left corner of a room or building). Also, placing him inside your front door facing inwards symbolizes money coming in to your home or business. 3" x 4" x 2.5" tall.
