This
Three-Legged Toad is found sitting on a pile of Chinese
Coins and is one of the most popular pieces in our

The mythical Chan Chu is said to appear every full moon
near homes which the residents will receive good news the
very next day. This is usually in the form of wealth or
monetary gain. They are called "Chan Chu" in
Chinese but is more commonly known as the Money Toad or
the Three Legged Toad. In ancient China, these mythical
Toads are believed to be the bringer of fortune.
They are traditionally placed next to the Altar of the
Earth God. The three-legged money Toad holds a Chinese
Coin in its mouth and sits on a pile of gold coins. On the
back of the Money Toad are 7 diamond dots depicting the
Ursa Major (Great North Pole 7 Stars). The seven stars of
the Northern Skies are where the study of Chinese
Elemental Astrology is based. These same 7 stars coupled
with 2 hidden supporting stars in the Northern Skies
represent the famous 9 Stars of the Bagua. And needless to
say, this is the basis for all study on Feng Shui.
Commonly used today as symbols of wealth, the Money Toad
is placed near cash registrars, receptions, managers' desk
and offices of many successful businesses in Oriental
countries. At home the Money Toad is placed in the corners
of the living room or family rooms to enhance wealth chi
of the household.
The Money Toad or Chan Chu is kept in the corner
diagonally across from the entrance to a room. The corner
of a room is known to be the focal point where chi
gathers. The Money Toad is placed in these corners to
activate what is traditionally believed to be 'Wealth
Luck' of the household.
