This media file presents a bronze sculpture titled "富贵金蟾" (Prosperous Golden Toad), located in Guang Zhou Shi, China. The sculpture depicts a reclining, chubby, child-like figure, presumably Liu Hai from Chinese folklore, holding a string of coins. He is gazing towards a three-legged golden toad (Jin Chan) that emerges from a flat, circular base, seemingly interacting with the figure. The sculpture is placed outdoors on a granite pedestal on a sidewalk, flanked by lush green hedges. In the background, a building with light-colored, possibly classical columns is visible. A red and white 'no entry' sign for a specific vehicle type can be seen amidst the greenery. The scene is illuminated by daylight, suggesting a bright or slightly overcast day. An informative plaque on the granite base provides details in Chinese. It states the sculpture's title, "富贵金蟾," and explains that it draws from the folk tale "Liu Hai Teases the Golden Toad," where Liu Hai plays with the three-legged golden toad using a string of gold coins, symbolizing joy, auspiciousness, wealth, and prosperity. The plaque credits the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, with Xie Xuanwan as the artist and Li Ming as the project art director. The piece was created in June 2013. in Guang Zhou Shi, China
