This boxwood monkey appears to be appalled at something. I like the way he's holding his head in his hands, as if to say, "Oh, my goodness! You can't be serious!"Designed and hand-carved in Hong Kong, he's a modern-day netsuke, likely a reproduction of an ancient design. Or, he might be a new creation.
At any rate, someone on eBay put him up for sale and I bought him.

Isn't it the "hear no evil" monkey from Nikko? Just wondering.
Could be, Mills. I don't get the three monkeys in sets, but occasionally get the as singles.
