"No Evil" Skull 19 cm

"No Evil" Skull 19 cm – Wisdom Veiled in Darkness

A Modern Interpretation of Ancient Law

The sculpture is made of polyresin and hand-painted. The contrast between the bone colour and the dark fabric is striking.

• See No Evil: A pair of black hands firmly covers the skull's eye sockets, refusing to gaze upon the wickedness of the world.
• Hear No Evil: Other hands, blending into the "hood" at the back, cover the areas where ears would be.
• Speak No Evil: An interesting detail is the mouth gesture. Instead of fully covering the mouth, we see a single finger pressed against the teeth in a "Hush" gesture – a symbol of silence and secrecy.
• Top View: From above, a crack is visible on the crown of the skull, adding authenticity and an ancient look.

Philosophical Background

The motif stems from Confucian morality: "Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety." This skull serves as a reminder that even after death, the wisdom of silence remains a virtue.

Caring for the Decoration

• Cleaning: Use a duster or soft brush to avoid damaging the fine painting on the "gloves".
• Placement: The statue is stable (weighs 0.76 kg), but polyresin is fragile if dropped. Place it in a safe spot.
