The largest, a wide-eyed brown monkey holding a banana, opens to reveal three progressively smaller figures. Together, the inner monkeys act out the familiar “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” gestures. A small separate banana completes the set.

Expressive faces, painted fur, and a glossy finish make the figures appealing displayed in a row as well as nested together. They bring a lighthearted touch to a bookshelf, bar, or desk. The form draws on matryoshka folk art, while the cheeky animal theme would sit comfortably among the whimsical decorative objects associated with Palm Beach, Palm Springs, and Jonathan Adler.
