This is Hotei, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, a symbol of good fortune. It is made of cast metal. He has a very gentle face. He is believed to attract wealth and good luck, and has been popular as a lucky charm since ancient times. I think it would be lovely to display it in your home, shop, or office. This item was displayed in the tokonoma (alcove) of my home, so there is some age-related wear and tear, but please understand that it is an antique item. No returns or exchanges. Please ask any questions in the comments. This item does not have a dedicated box, so it will be packed securely with other packing materials to prevent damage during shipping.
