The meaning behind this piece
Liu Hai is a figure from Chinese folklore and Daoist tradition, and the three-legged golden toad is a popular companion in the story, often shown being teased with a string of coins. The scene is a well-known decorative subject; its association with prosperity is a folk motif, not a promise of wealth.
