Carved Hsiu Jade Three Wise Monkey Figurines

The three wise monkeys are a legend embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. They are hand carved out of Rainbow Hsiu Jade. There is a hole drilled from the bottom up through their bodies, so they could be used as a pendant.

• Circa 1960's
• The order is for three pendants
• Size: 2¼ x 1¼ inches
