Billiken is a figure that originated in the early 20th century, often described as a symbol of good luck and happiness. It resembles a chubby, elf-like figure with a smiling face, pointed ears, and a tuft of hair on its head, often depicted sitting or reclining. The Billiken was created by an American art teacher named Florence Pretz in 1908.
