The story of Liu Hai is frequently told as “Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad”. However, there is a hidden meaning here: The Chinese word for “toad” is chanchu. Sometimes, Chinese will only pronounce the first character chan. In some Chinese dialects, the character chan has a pronunciation very similar to qian which means “coin”. Therefore, a storyteller reciting “Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad” could also be heard by listeners as “Liu Hai playing with the gold coins”.

Later fitted stand. (2)

Auction result comparison: Compare with a related burlwood carving of a luohan sold in these rooms in Fine Chinese Art, Buddhism and Hinduism on 27 September 2019, lot 101, for €2,000.
