Museum of Islamic Art Turquoise Blue Monkey Replica

A mirror polished turquoise blue monkey replica, inspired by the Museum of Islamic Art's star object, the Turquoise-Glazed Monkey-Shaped Animal figurine (identified to be from Saljuq or Khwarazmshah, Iran (Kashan) 12th-13th century). The replica functions as home decor, an eye-catching piece to add to your home, exclusively sold at Qatar Museums Gift Shops and IN-Q online. The monkey's expression probably highlights what would have been the case for the actual monkeys which entertained the people of medieval Iran, who might have performed tricks in the streets or been central characters in puppetry performances. Monkeys were thought to bring good fortune.
