Immortal Liu Hai astride a toad
The image shows a sculpture titled "Immortal Liu Hai astride a toad" by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a smiling man with a prominent belly, wearing a robe, sitting on top of a toad. The man has a rounded face with a short beard and mustache; his eyes are closed in a smile. He wears a long robe with folds carved into the fabric; his right leg is bent and tucked under his body, while his left leg is draped over the toad. The toad has a large open mouth and bulging eyes; it appears to be carved from the same material as the man. The sculpture is made of dark brown wood or stone with a glossy finish. The background of the image is a gray gradient, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
