The Three popular figurines that come as a set are:

Fu (Prosperity)
Lu (Luck)
Shou (Longevity

Some pictures of each of these symbols are found here:-

The rationale for an inverted " Prosperity/wealth" is symbolic. Since Fu (prosperity is inverted) it implies that you are pouring wealth downwards.

And since, some homes place this inside their main entrance: it literally means prosperity (wealth) is pouring down e.g. from heaven to earth.

Apologies, thanks for the clarification:)

I believe, some one wrote that there is a mechanical windchime in the market to this forum recently, also.
