Caishen, Wade-Giles romanization Ts’ai Shen, also called Cai Boxing Jun, in Chinese religion, the popular god (or gods) of wealth, widely believed to bestow on his devotees the riches carried about by his attendants. During the two-week New Year celebration, incense is burned in Caishen’s temple (especially on the fifth day of the first lunar month), and friends joyously exchange the traditional New Year greeting “May you become rich” (“Gongxi facai”).
This sculpture is a piece of carved tree trunk. Intricately hand made by a master sculptor. Even the paint gives off such a rich elegant vibe. I believe that the piece would look amazing on a pedestal or as a centerpiece to an entryway. Absolutely wonderful piece of art!

On the back of the piece there is some thing that looks like a compartment but I did not want to open it in any way due to worry of jeopardizing its integrity. less
