WU57: 3 monkeys

Description: The image of the three monkeys, embodying the Buddhist concept of non-evil, has long become a staple of the Christian tradition - it has been recorded hundreds of times in works of art and literature, coins, postage stamps, souvenirs. Each monkey symbolizes a certain idea, or rather, a part of it, and bears a corresponding name: Mizaru (covering the eyes and not seeing evil), Kikazaru (covering the ears and not hearing evil) and Iwazaru (covering the mouth and not speaking evil). Together, they express the maxim "If I do not see evil, do not hear evil and do not speak anything about it, I am protected from it." The wise monkeys are often mentioned in films and songs, are depicted in cartoons and graffiti, even Pokemon. In a word, they have seriously entered modern art, occupying a small but stable place in it. The statuette is made precisely from polyresin with a metal coating and with attention to every detail. Statuette dimensions: h 8.5 cm
