Dear Kaushal,
1. Firstly, as a clarification when u mentioned `nice feng shui object' usually all Chinese objects are not called feng shui object but rather.. should instead be called general Chinese objects or symbols:)
2. For the benefit of members in this forum, I have attached three pictures:
2.1 A picture similar to what you had mentioned - a boy with a large fish and coins.
This picture signifies: Good Luck where the large fish is `spitting' out coins for good wealth.
2.2 Another picture of a boy. This time holding a large fish.
This time the fish represents wealth i.e. Wealth and prosperity.
The common Chinese saying " NIAN NIAN YOU YU " or translated as Every Year GOT fish.
2.3 A boy with picture of gold fish(es).
Here `Gold' fishes represent wealth.
I believe the object you mentioned, although may not look exactly like the picture mentioned under 2.1 but, the `ingredients' of a boy, the fish and the coins are similar.
Red strings represent auspicious (taken into context) that red means auspiciousness.
It is also common to have the Buddha with such objects.
For placement, it is nice to place it at say the living room or on a display shelf. Avoid having it placed in the kitchen or bedroom area.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
