Caishen God of Fortune Statue in Yellow Brass

Description

Caishen god of fortune statue in yellow brass: warm, heavy in the hand, the color of prosperity as Chinese tradition has named it for centuries. Caishen is one of the most recognized figures in Chinese domestic and civic life.

Caishen’s origins reach into early Chinese history, his form codified across the Ming and Qing dynasties as a bearded official in ceremonial robes, holding a gold ingot or a ruyi scepter. He is invoked at Chinese New Year, placed at the entrance of commercial spaces, and given position of prominence in homes where Feng Shui practice is observed. Across mainland China, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora globally, his image signals intention toward abundance. Workshops in Henan and Zhejiang provinces have produced cast-metal Caishen figures for generations, in copper, bronze, and brass.

This statue is cast in yellow brass, an alloy chosen for its warm gold tone and resistance to tarnish. Available in two sizes: the larger standing approximately 30 centimeters and the smaller approximately 20 centimeters. The casting captures the detail of his ceremonial robes, the ingot held in his raised hand, and the expression of benevolent authority that defines the iconography. Surface finish is polished to a satin sheen, then sealed to preserve the color. Weight reflects the density of solid-cast brass: this is not a hollow figure.
