A solid brass Feng Shui hanging depicting Caishen, the God of Wealth — one of the most widely recognised figures in Chinese folk tradition. This is not a mass-produced trinket. The figure has real weight in the hand (300g of brass), genuine detail in the face and robes, and a warm antique-tone finish that gives it the look of something that has been passed down rather than bought new. He holds a traditional wealth coin — the round coin with a square centre hole that appears across Chinese symbolism as a representation of money flow, opportunity, and the harmony between heaven and earth.
What You Get
Solid brass God of Wealth figure with detailed traditional-style finish. Caishen is depicted in ceremonial robes holding a wealth coin — a classical composition found in Feng Shui objects across centuries.
Decorative beaded hanging cord in black, cream, amber, and wooden beads. The cord is designed for display rather than just function — the bead colours follow Feng Shui colour principles (earth tones for stability, black for protection, warm amber for wealth energy).
Total hanging length approximately 70 cm. The figure itself measures roughly 30 × 40 cm. Weight: 300g — this is the heaviest and most substantial piece in the Feng Shui hanging range.
Material: Brass throughout. No plastic, no plating over cheap metal. Brass is the traditional material for Chinese Feng Shui objects because it is durable, resonant, and associated with metal element energy in the Five Elements system.
Made in China.
Who Is Caishen?
Caishen (also written Tsai Shen Yeh) is the Chinese God of Wealth and Prosperity. In folk tradition, he is one of the most commonly invoked deities for financial good fortune, particularly among business owners, traders, and anyone starting a new commercial venture. His image appears in shops, restaurants, offices, and homes throughout Chinese and East Asian communities — often near the entrance, the cash register, or the southeast "wealth corner" of a space as defined by the Feng Shui Bagua map. He is especially prominent during Chinese New Year, when his image is displayed to welcome prosperity for the year ahead.
Whether you follow Feng Shui practice or simply appreciate the cultural tradition, a Caishen figure carries a clear and universally understood message: this space welcomes abundance.
What Are Feng Shui Hangings?
Feng Shui hangings are decorative objects suspended in a space to influence the energy (qi) flowing through it, according to the principles of traditional Chinese geomancy. Unlike statues or figurines that sit on surfaces, hangings interact with the movement of air — they catch light, turn gently, and occupy vertical space that would otherwise be empty. In Feng Shui practice, hanging objects are considered active rather than passive, because they respond to the environment rather than just sitting in it.
Each hanging in this range features a different symbol with a specific focus: wealth attraction, wealth protection, obstacle removal, health, luck, or progress. The God of Wealth is the most directly prosperity-focused piece in the collection.
Where to Hang It
Traditional Feng Shui placement for a God of Wealth hanging:
Near the entrance of a home or business — facing inward, symbolically welcoming prosperity as it arrives.
Near a till or cash register in a shop or restaurant — a common placement in Chinese-owned businesses worldwide.
In the southeast corner of a room or building — this is the "wealth area" according to the Feng Shui Bagua map.
On or near a desk in a home office or workspace — particularly if the work involves finance, sales, or entrepreneurship.
Anywhere you want a visual reminder of abundance and financial intention — Feng Shui placement principles are a guide, not a rigid rule.
The Brass
All six hangings in this range are solid brass, and that matters. Brass is the traditional material for Chinese Feng Shui metalwork because it sits within the "metal" element of the Five Elements system (Wu Xing), which governs clarity, precision, and the attraction of wealth energy. It is also simply a beautiful material — warm-toned, heavy in the hand, and capable of holding fine detail that lighter metals cannot. Over time, brass develops a natural patina that deepens its antique quality. If you prefer the original brightness, a gentle polish with a brass cloth restores it.
A Note on Gifting
The God of Wealth is the most universally understood symbol in this range — anyone familiar with Chinese culture or Feng Shui will recognise Caishen immediately. It makes a par
