Vintage Hand-Carved Coconut Monkey Bank Set – Primitive Island Folk Art (Set of 4)
Add a touch of whimsical tropical charm to your decor with this delightful set of four hand-carved coconut shell monkey coin banks. Each piece is lovingly crafted from real coconut shells, giving them an authentic organic texture and character.

The set includes a full monkey family:
• A mother holding a baby monkey
• A musician with painted ukulele
• A figure with woven palm hat and pipe
• A bareheaded monkey with painted details

These charming mid-century style banks were likely handmade in the Philippines or Hawaii during the 1960s–1980s as popular tourist souvenirs. Each features coconut fiber “hair,” painted features, and a slot cut into the belly for coins.
