EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a hand-carved, late 19th century Monkey Songoku figurine, hailing from Asia, specifically Japan. The intricately detailed monkey, dressed as a monk, stands proudly with a regal expression, donning colorful clothing adorned with precious and semiprecious stone inlays. The monkey's accessories include a crown, armor, and a scepter, further emphasizing his sovereign status. The wood carving exhibits exquisite craftsmanship, with every curve and line meticulously carved by the artist's hand. Monkey Songoku, also known as Monkey King or Sun Wukong, is a legendary figure from Chinese and Japanese folklore, renowned for his magical abilities and mischievous nature. This figurine is believed to have been created during the 1890s, a time when wood carving was a popular art form in Asia. The close-up perspective of this studio shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the monkey's clothing and accessories, as well as the intricate carving on his armor and the lifelike texture of his fur. The monkey's eyes are carved with such depth and expression that it feels as if he is coming to life before our very eyes. This Monkey Songoku figurine is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to admire and learn from the rich cultural heritage it represents. The figurine's wooden base, also intricately carved, adds to the overall beauty and elegance of this timeless piece.
