The three-legged toad is, in Chinese decorative tradition, the companion of Liu Hai — a figure from folklore who appears on shop signs and amulets across the country. Whether the story is history or invention, the toad became one of the most common shapes in Chinese metalwork, and it is almost always shown squatting with something in its mouth.

This is a solid brass casting — no hollow core, no resin fill (a common shortcut in cheap versions). It weighs 460 g. The surface is hand-chased and given a dull patina; the base has a felt pad.
