What does this mean?

Hello Allison,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience during these unprecedented times. The item presented appears to be a clay figurine in the Japanese Moriage style, dating to the mid 20th century. The figure depicts Hotei or "happy Buddha." These figures were exported as decorative objects as Asian culture became popular. Based on recent auction records and estimate of this figure and similar Japanese Moriage figures of Hotei, this item may receive an auction estimate range of $50 - 200, depending on condition. Thank you again for your inquire and patience. I hope you have a warm holiday. Stay Safe.
