Monkeys or other faces etc. We only have a few and those are here because Mrs. 8FT likes 'em. But I am now adding the following pic. to this thread because of the irony of the piece depicted. This is a recent find that she just HAD to have. It is a bank and is about 6" tall. This coconut monkey is made of Ceramic or plaster composition! I just asked...Why? I guess the real answer lies on the bottom where it is marked: Made in Japan.
