Huishan clay figurines, a traditional craft originating in Wuxi, Jiangsu province in East China, typically depict characters from Chinese folklores and operas. The most renowned variation showcases a pair of plump, cheerful figures symbolizing good fortune and joy.

Local inheritors of the craft have created a festive edition of these miniature clay sculptures for the Year of the Snake, drawing inspiration from the traditional design.
