The turtle with a dragon head (Bixi) sits on a treasure trove of coins, a popular symbol of wealth in China, red lacquer, size approx. 9 cm. Sacrifices are still sometimes made to the god of wealth, called Lu. There is also a counterpart made of grey plastic, very similar in shape and size. However, there is a smiling Buddha sitting on the shell.
