Three Wise Monkeys Bronze Sculptures “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil”

About the Item

This set of bronze monkey sculptures depicts the classic motif of the "Three Wise Monkeys" — See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. Each monkey is made with intricate detail, featuring expressive faces and hands. The monkeys are shown in traditional poses: one covering its eyes, another its ears, and the third its mouth, symbolizing the proverbial principle of ignoring evil influences. Each sculpture is designed with a small, concave bowl at its base, making these pieces functional as well as decorative. Size: H25 cm x W20 cm x D21 cm
