Japanese Monoxyle Cane With Wisdom Monkey
Japanese monoxyle cane carved from a single piece of wood, executed in the XIXᵉ century. The handle depicts a monkey in an evocative attitude, one hand brought to the ear while the other is placed in front of the mouth.

This cane perfectly illustrates the art of woodcarving in Japan during the Meiji period
