Monkey Touching His Ears Porcelain Limoges Box

Hands raised to his ears, this monkey seems to be saying he would rather not hear any bad news today. The playful pose was shaped in porcelain and painted by hand as a Limoges box in Limoges, France.

Hear No Evil

The pose brings to mind the famous trio of wise monkeys who see, hear and speak no evil. Even on his own, this one makes a witty point, and he is sure to get a laugh from guests who spot him on the shelf.

Monkeying Around the Bookcase

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a monkey, zoo or wild animal collection
• Pairs with other monkey poses, parrots and jungle pieces

A Laugh at the Office

He is especially fun on an office desk or a home study shelf, where his message speaks for itself during a long week. Give him to a coworker who has heard it all, a friend born in a Year of the Monkey, or a monkey collector who wants every pose.

Collectors sometimes group several monkey pieces together to tell their own story, and this hands to ears pose is the one that always draws a smile. He also works on a game room shelf, where a sense of humor is part of the decor.
