EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate ivory sculpture known as "Speak No Evil, one of the Three Wise Monkeys". Standing at a mere height of 2.8 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found in the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK. The Three Wise Monkeys are widely recognized as a pictorial maxim that embodies the famous proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". This particular carving beautifully captures the essence of the monkey covering its mouth with its hands, symbolizing its commitment to refrain from speaking any ill words or engaging in gossip. Crafted by an anonymous Japanese artist and now out of copyright, this ornamental sculpture is not only visually stunning but also holds great cultural significance. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship evident in this piece highlight the rich artistic tradition prevalent in Asian culture. As you gaze upon this photograph, take a moment to appreciate the profound message it conveys – reminding us all about the importance of choosing our words wisely and refraining from spreading negativity.
