Hand-sculpted, Gold Painted Vintage Clay Monkey ash glaze or find a nice lecternThis fun guy doesn't have wings but he does remind me quite a lot of the winged monkeys from Oz, though I can't look at a gold painted monkey without thinking of Jeff Koons' Michael and Bubbles, too. The gold on this one is much mellower though, imparting him with a bit of a tramp art feel (which the green felt glued to the underside rather amplifies!) Hand sculpted of white clay and, to my sensibilities at least, really great! 5 3 8" t x 5" w x 4 1
