A wonderful antique sterling silver monkey charm/pendant portraying "hear no evil". The 3 wise monkeys, who include "see no evil" and "speak no evil", are known to have been carried as lucky charms by soldiers in the First World War.
This wise monkey is solidly cast with realistic detailing down to his long hands and feet, rotund little belly and irked facial expression. The charm is finished with a heavy duty jump ring at the top and we have added a new sterling silver fine curb chain so this little guy is ready to wear or give as a unique gift.
