This adorable monkey would love to become your companion!
His head is carved from a light blue material (possibly faience) which is set in a silver setting. This silver setting has been placed on a gold ring shank: I would not be surprised if the monkey orignally topped a stickpin or button, and was converted into a ring at a later point.
