Bronze and/or Copper Hotei statue. Signed Tsunemitsu.

Hotei, in Japanese mythology, one of the Shichi-fuku-jin (“Seven Gods of Luck”). This popular figure is depicted frequently in contemporary crafts as a cheerful, contented Buddhist monk with a large exposed belly.

The item has aged a bit of course but I think it is in a clean state. Please check images for the best impression..
