Three-legged toad in bronze.
The three-legged toad, originating from Chinese mythology, is a Feng Shui symbol of prosperity and wealth.
Chan Chu, the three-legged toad, is mentioned by the poet Qu Yuan in The Songs of Chu. He compares the moon to a toad with a rounded body, whose three legs represent the three phases of the moon.
According to some authors, the toad on the moon is the beautiful Chang-e, transformed into an amphibian by Xiwangmu, the queen of the Western P...
Bamboo sitting toad. The node of the wood is used as the base of the statuette.
The toad and the frog, referred to by the same term in Japanese (kaeru) are associated with good luck and wealth. Kaeru means both "toad" and "coming home" in Japanese. This extension of meaning is due to the ability of the toad to return to the pond of its birth every year. A gong in the shape of a toad can thus sometimes be used as a door hammer or to protect a house.
