Succumb to the charm of craftsmanship and adopt this elegant statuette representing the famous 3 monkeys of wisdom, each of which covers a different part of its face. The first hides the ears, the second the eyes, and the third the mouth.

They form a kind of pictorial maxim: "I hear nothing, I see nothing, and I say nothing wrong." According to legend, to whom this saying would follow, only good would happen. This depiction is also sometimes referred to as "the secret of happiness".

Take a look at the photos: this wooden statuette is the work of an artisan sculptor with whom we have been working since 2003. Chiseled with corn from suar wood, a noble and durable wood, it has many details and great finesse. It is a singular object, which is noticeable at first glance, and which will bring a symbolic touch to your decoration, through the spiritual message it carries.

The Secret to Happiness

The three wisdom monkeys are interpreted in different ways in different cultures and regions of the world. One of these interpretations has been named "the secret of happiness" because the three primates can be seen as a representation of the three basic attitudes to adopt in order to live a happy and fulfilled life.

The first monkey, which covers its eyes, symbolizes the importance of not being swayed by the deceptive appearances and illusions of the physical world. It invites us to look beyond appearances, to seek the truth and to cultivate wisdom.

The second monkey, who plugs his ears, advises us not to be disturbed by malicious rumors and criticism, which can harm our inner peace and well-being. It also invites us to listen to kind and constructive words, and to cultivate compassion and empathy for others.

The third monkey, who covers his mouth, illustrates the importance of not saying hurtful or malicious words, which can cause harm to others and yourself. He reminds us that it is always better to speak with gentleness and respect, to cultivate benevolence and kindness towards others.

This common interpretation of the three wisdom monkeys teaches us that happiness is based on wisdom, compassion, and kindness. By adopting these attitudes, we can cultivate inner peace, joy, and harmony in our lives, but also contribute to the well-being and happiness of those around us.
