EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate carving of "Hear No Evil" one of the Three Wise Monkeys, made from ivory by a Japanese School artist. Standing at a height of 2.8 cm, this delicate sculpture is housed in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery located in West Midlands, UK. The Three Wise Monkeys are widely recognized as a pictorial maxim that represents the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". This particular monkey figurine embodies the concept of refusing to acknowledge wrongdoing or immorality through its gesture of covering its ears with its hands. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every detail has been meticulously carved into the ivory surface, capturing not only the physical features but also conveying an emotional depth within this seated animal figure. The ornamental nature of this piece further enhances its beauty and adds an Asian touch to it. As viewers engage with this photograph, they can appreciate both the cultural significance and artistic excellence behind this carving. It serves as a reminder for us all to be mindful of our actions and words while embracing wisdom and virtue. The presence of "Hear No Evil" among other sculptures representing different aspects of morality makes it an essential part of any collection exploring these timeless proverbs and their visual interpretations.
