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
