Three Wise Monkeys See No, Hear No, Speak No Evil

Wise words to live by. If one tries to be positive in one's own life, he is more likely to avoid the evil influences of others. This is a very old idea, originating in Japan, (but possibly China?!), several hundred years ago. The basic Japanese belief is about staying healthy by behaving well.

This set of wise monkeys are cast bronze made in Indonesia. The smooth finish has a well-worn, warm luster. This figurine is just under 4 inches tall with a base of 1.25 x 1 inch. It fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.

Also known as the No Evil Monkeys, these three wise monkeys encourage good mind, speech and action. They are a powerful reminder to be cautious of negative influences and to embody ethical integrity.
