Vintage Japanese Cast Metal Monkey Sculpture – Rustic Folk Art Style, Pre-1970

This unique vintage Japanese cast metal monkey sculpture captures the charm and simplicity of Japanese folk art. Likely crafted before 1970, this piece has a primitive yet expressive design that highlights the influence of the Mingei (Japanese folk art) movement.

The sculpture features a rough, textured finish with a muted bronze and brown patina, giving it an earthy and organic look that makes it feel hand-crafted. The monkey’s face is subtly detailed with a reddish-brown accent, bringing a touch of color that contrasts beautifully against the darker metal. Its abstract, minimalist form reflects traditional Japanese aesthetics, where simplicity and natural texture are celebrated.

Condition: Good vintage condition with minor signs of age, including some wear to the finish, which adds to its character and vintage appeal.

Dimensions: Approximately 5.5 in x 5.5 in x 5.5 in
Weight: 4 lbs. 4 oz

This charming monkey sculpture would be an excellent addition to any collection of Japanese art, folk art, or vintage animal figurines. Perfect for display on a shelf, desk, or as a unique accent in any space.

Note: This item has no visible signature or maker’s mark.
