MF-295 Monkey Menuki


 Nice set of well cut monkey menuki. The theme is done in an amusing sense, with the monkeys looking at something that obviously has their attention. Done on a shakudo base, the gold highlights look like they are done in uttori fashion. This shows the high level of skill used to make these pieces, and explains the life that is seen within them. The copper faces are interesting with a feeling of wonder to their expression.
