Help finding out what a symbol/carving means.
My uncle fought in the Vietnam War, and one of the things he brought back was a small, ivory sculpture. It sits on a piece of wood. On the left is a monkey with the "see no evil" gesture, and on the right is a monkey with the "hear no evil." In the middle if a very intricate carving that has an odd deer-type creature next to a tree.
How do I go about finding out if this has any significant meaning?
