Vintage Soapstone “Three Wise Monkeys” Figurine

Hand-carved soapstone ‘Three Wise Monkeys’ figurine – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Dark stone, about 3.5" wide and 3" tall. Family-owned for over 30 years with normal light wear from age and display. Great little piece of vintage folk art or a perfect gift for monkey collectors. This figurine has been in the same family for over 30 years and appears to be a hand-carved artisan piece rather than a modern mass-produced casting, similar in scale and style to other mid- to late-20th-century soapstone monkey carvings sold as decorative folk art and souvenirs. The underside is unmarked, and the carving shows minor surface wear, small scratches, and a few natural stone pits and inclusions consistent with age and display.
