| Description |
From the ancient depths of the culturally rich
country of Costa Rica, this fabulous artifact has
surfaced. Is it the expression, the goggle eyes or
large ears that bring a smile to our face?
Although his facial expression is quizzical, his
body posture resembles the powerful sitting
position of an ancient male chieftain.
Orchestrations of delicate designs have been
incised on his arms and face. The playful tail of
the monkey has been cleverly transformed into a
handle. Hidden in silence for centuries, he now
enjoys his rightful position as the center of
attention.
