Seated Fortune Lion On Coins

A rotund guardian lion sits grinning over a hoard of coins, paw resting on its fortune. This is a chubby Chinese wealth-beast figurine in the round — a fu-dog / prosperity lion rendered with a broad flat-browed head, a mane and beard tumbling in tight curled ringlets, big folded ears and a wide toothy grin. It cradles a large round coin against a bulging money pouch, one clawed forepaw planted ahead of the other, and the whole rotund body settles onto stacked ancient cash coins that form its own base. Every surface is packed with the little rounded details — curls, coin rims, the swell of the belly — that give these lucky mascots their charm. It suits a desk talisman, a feng-shui shelf, a shop counter, or a good-luck gift for someone opening a new business or moving home. Printed small it is a paperweight; scaled up it becomes a proper mantel statue. Print notes: • Resin (SLA/DLP) captures the ringlet curls and coin edges far better than FDM. • Add supports under the chin, the forward paw and the overhanging coin; a slight nose-up tilt keeps the face clean. • Hollow larger prints and add drain holes to save resin. • The coin-stack base is pre-flattened, so it stands unaided — no separate plinth needed.
