Vintage Three Wise Monkeys Ornaments

These three wise monkeys (chimpanzees), see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, date between 1930 to 1940. They are resin cast and quite unique and I like that they are all individual so you can move them about.

The original three wise monkeys as depicted on the wood carved panels of Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō, Japan were Japanese macaques. I will leave the link to the Wikipedia entry on the three wise monkeys below as i do like to research all our stuff and i could probably go on far far far to long about these.
