The Golden Rule

The Three Mystic Apes or Three Wise Monkeys embody the proverbial principle: See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. A symbol of Japanese folk religion and a mantra to live by. I've read that Gandhi, a believer in non-possessions, carried a small ornament of these Three Wise Monkeys with him all the time.

For MACRO MONDAYS theme "Wisdom"

Macro of a small brass ornament, 4.5cm x 3cm or 1.75" x 1.25"
