18/365 - A bit of culture...


About a year ago my sister spent a few weeks in Ethiopia as part of her school program.  She brought back this for me, a hand carving of the three wise monkeys (see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil).  I currently have it displayed in my living room, and I believe it's the only piece of actual 'art' or 'culture' in my entire apartment.  To wit: it's directly above my collection of Xbox games.

  1. Hey krawler, I have some in marble, almost the exact same thing and it was also a gift, but from Asia.

    :D

    Very cool!! I like the fact that we all seem to have things from around the world and yet the same or of similar ideas. I love the monkeys hon. My sister went to Okinawa and I got a teak wood carved hand with the two fingers of peace up. It disappeared years ago, maybe I got beyond keeping something like that from the early 70s. I don't know but sometimes I wish I still had it.

  3. lOL... above your xbox games.
    My oldest son would be more interested in the games. ;)

    But those are really neat looking carvings.
