About the symbolism
In feng shui tradition, a gold ingot is placed in a wealth corner, on a desk, by the register, or on an altar as a symbol traditionally believed to invite abundance and good luck. It's a small, classic prosperity accent for home or office display, valued for its symbolism rather than any material worth.
How to place it
Common placements include the wealth corner of a room (often the far-left corner from the entrance), a desk or workspace, near a cash register or till, or alongside other prosperity symbols on an altar. There's no single "correct" spot — placement follows personal or household feng shui tradition.
Care
Dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to keep the finish looking bright. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the gold-toned surface, and keep it away from prolonged moisture.
