Huishan clay figurines are a folk craft of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, originating in the Ming Dynasty roughly 400 years ago.^[1]

They are generally divided into two categories:^[2]

Mold-made "simple" or "coarse" figurines, which are highly stylised, with bright colours, usually drawing inspiration from folk traditions and decorated with symbols of good luck, prosperity, and happiness.
Purely hand-crafted "fine" figurines, with characters more often drawn from Chinese myths and legends and characters in classical opera.

The most iconic kind of Huishan clay figurines are chubby babies with outsized heads and wide smiles which hold plants, animals or household objects representing heath, wealth, or happiness, often through puns.

They are made from soil dug from a meter below ground in the Huishan region, which provides excellent plasticity.^[3]
