    Welcome Angelmouse.
    Your figurine represents Daikokuten, the Japanese God of wealth.

    First character seems to be 'good', so possibly just 'good wealth'

    It is Chinese calligraphy. Reads "good presence "
    I think this little guy is a Chinese mudman.

    If so, he was probably made for the Japanese market. But don't mudmen have an open base?
