Summary
A toy monkey made of greenish-brown fur fabric with felt face, paws and ears. The monkey had a swivel head, jointed limbs and glass eyes. Much loved, the monkey is fairly battered looking and has a torn ear, metal showing through the fur at the joints and feet, and the shoulders and one foot stitched up.
