Three Legged Frog from Star Arts

The Chinese practice of feng shui (meaning wind and water in Cantonese) have been around for thousands of years, aims to bring about harmony and good luck — through the placement of objects in relation to their natural surroundings. Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also homes and other structures in auspicious manner. The practice is not only still alive in Hong Kong today but is very much thriving, with feng shui consultations being quite the norm among locals.

The feng shui money frog—also known as the three-legged toad or money toad—has deep symbolic roots. It is a mythological creature with three legs that is said to attract wealth and abundance. If you wish someone lots of wealth, gift them this treasure for a lifetime.
