Introduction
This lot comprises three charming ceramic money boxes, each depicting one of the three wise monkeys – Mizaru (see no evil), Iwazaru (hear no evil), and Kikazaru (speak no evil). These figurines are a playful take on the proverbial principle of avoiding harm by not seeing, hearing, or speaking of evil. The design is classic and instantly recognisable, making them a delightful addition to any collection or a whimsical touch to home decor.
Condition
These money boxes show signs of age and previous ownership, which adds to their character. There may be minor imperfections, such as small chips or crazing to the glaze, consistent with vintage ceramic items. Despite this, they remain structurally sound and retain their visual appeal, making them desirable for collectors of kitsch memorabilia or those seeking unique decorative pieces.
