The jade pendant is square, carved with openwork technique. Liu Hai's face is round and smiling broadly; he holds a broom in one hand. A golden toad lies at his feet, its eyes gazing at Liu Hai. The material selection is excellent, and the carving is meticulous. The golden toad is considered a symbol of attracting wealth and treasures, and good fortune. Legend has it that the golden toad can spit out money and is one of the incarnations of the God of Wealth. Liu Hai is usually depicted playfully teasing the golden toad, which not only portrays the character's humor and vividness but also embodies people's aspirations for a prosperous and happy life.
