Handcrafted in Zimbabwe, this ashtray is truly a beautifully detailed sculpture. Dominated by the centerpiece of a proud silver lion, the beautifully balanced, hand-finished tray is held up by two of the fabled ‘Hear No Evil’ and ‘See No Evil’ monkeys. However, the third mischievous monkey is hiding below, between the lion’s back legs where he puffs on a hand rolled, 18ct gold cigar. The ‘Smoke No Evil’ monkey is the hidden hero of the piece.
Weatherby Foundation International is grateful to Patrick Mavros for this 100% donation.
