Danish Wooden Sculpture of ‘The Three Wise Monkeys’
About the Item
Wooden sculpture of ‘The Three Wise Monkeys’, a symbol of oriental origin that conveys the philosophy of ‘I don't see, I don't hear, I don't speak’. The piece is sculpted with great attention to detail, featuring three monkeys lined up side by side, each covering their eyes, ears and mouth respectively, reinforcing the message of prudence and wisdom.
The wood used has a warm, natural colour, with well-defined carvings that give the sculpture texture and expression. The eyes are emphasised by small clear dots, highlighting the identity of each figure. This piece is ideal for decorative art collectors, cultural symbolism enthusiasts or as an object of reflection and inspiration.
