Description |
This is a carved wooden monkey figurine standing on three legs with one in its mouth. Its feet are glued to the carved base made from the same wood. The wood is reddish in color with some varnish. All features of this figurine are carved. This carving was acquired in East Africa between 1957 and 1977 by missionaries who were associated with Carson-Newman University. Their collection of African artifacts was donated to the Mars Hill University Archives in 1961. This collection was later transferred to the Reece Museum in 2016. |
