VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image showcases a wood carving depicting the famous "Three Wise Monkeys," embodying the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Each monkey is captured in a distinct pose: one covering its eyes, another its ears, and the third its mouth. This traditional motif has been interpreted through various cultures but often serves as a reminder to be of good mind, speech, and action. Set against an intricate floral background within what appears to be part of architectural woodwork—possibly from Japan—the craftsmanship highlights both artistic skill and moral teachings.
