Standing on his left foot on a finger citron, holding an object in his right hand, followed by a goat pulling his trouser, with a reign mark of "Chien-Lung" on the bottom.
Among the Chinese people, finger citron is known as Fo Shou or Buddha's Hand. The fruit is offered at the shrine of the Gods at festivals and religious rituals. It is similar to the form of a classic Buddha's Hand with upwards fingers. Apart from being related to Buddhism, finger citron is also the symbol of wealth. Age: Chinese, Qing dynasty, circa late 19th - early 20th century
