Rochard See No Evil Three Monkeys Limoges Box

$352.00 $0.00

The three wise monkeys act out the old proverb on this Rochard Limoges box: one hears no evil, one sees no evil and one speaks no evil. The porcelain trio was shaped and painted by hand in Limoges, France.

Hear, See and Speak No Evil

The three wise monkeys have carried their simple message for centuries, with roots in a famous 17th-century carving at a shrine in Nikko, Japan. Covering ears, eyes and mouth, they remind us to steer clear of gossip and unkindness. The saying has spread around the world, sometimes taken seriously and sometimes with a knowing wink.

Wisdom in Threes

  • A Rochard design, hand-painted in Limoges, France
  • The three wise monkeys of the old proverb
  • Fits a monkey, proverb or wildlife collection

A Wry Desk Companion

Set it on an office desk, a lawyer's bookshelf or a counselor's side table, where its message lands with a smile. It makes a clever retirement present, a Boss's Day surprise or a thank-you for a discreet friend who always keeps a confidence. Monkey collectors and fans of old proverbs will welcome it, and it rarely fails to start a conversation wherever it sits.
