    Picked this up at an estate sale. Stands about 2 1/2" tall, 1 3/8" across the top. Bottom is rounded. Any ideas on maker?

    I wonder what that pose means?
    It looks like protecting the family jewels.

    My first thought was ... a fourth monkey.
    See no evil, hear no evil, say no evil... not sure what a proper verb would be.

    @kraftblue - can we get a close-up of the head? Is a little face peeking out of a helmet?
