"The designer of the sculpture said its egg-shaped body and golden Trump-like hair deliver the message of “getting rich”, according to Phototimes, a social media news outlet run by Tencent. The egg is a symbol of fertility and prosperity in Chinese culture. News of the sculpture has prompted other enterprising souls to offer replicas on e-commerce site Taobao, for prices ranging from a few hundred yuan to 50,000 yuan (HK$56,000).
