Handmade OOAK Mandrill Sock Monkey doll (plus luggage!)

Meet Pythagoras, a mandrill sock monkey, lovingly stitched by hand.

He is made from a pair of brand new grey-and-blue socks and faux fur, and is loosely stuffed with rags so he is floppy and heavy - as I feel a sock monkey should be!

ABOUT PYTHAGORAS:
Pythagoras*, Mandrillus Sphinx

For Isaac Newton, it was an apple that captured his imagination and led him to his revolutionary development of the laws of motion.

For Pythagoras it was a banana. His early calculations involved the rudimentary study of ratios between tree shaking and numbers of falling bananas, while his later exploits have seen him whittle away minutes contemplating the problems surrounding the Mandrill Paradox. Taking his cue from the famous conundrum of Fermat's Last Theorem, which has something to do with stacking oranges in a box, Pythagoras took the inspired leap to a whole new set of problems, namely, how could you mathematically demonstrate the most efficient way to stack bananas, if you were too busy eating the pile as you went.
Following the one-for-you-one-for-me principle he discovered stacking more than two created all manner of inconsistent and troubling results. More contemplation and bananas will be needed.

Pythagoras is currently looking for a talented assistant to help him complete his work. For a small fee (+ travels costs) he is offering to become a live-in mathematician, capable of helping with calculating all banana related disposal chores, or otherwise join and lead your faculty.

* His name is coincidental and based entirely on a misunderstanding that the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician would go ‘blue in the face’ when dealing with his intellectual inferiors.

Pythagoras will arrive to you nicely packaged and with his own personalised luggage! His little suitcase consists of handmade and found items: a sock-monkey sized abacus, pair of compasses and pencil, protractor and an exercise book hand stitched with graph paper pages.

He also comes with a birth certificate for you to also keep. He would nestle cosily in a variety of nooks and crannies, measuring approximately 40cm in height from head to toe. He has a short tail and a cheeky blue bottom. He was created in a smoke-free home.

Please note – This product is a one-off, handmade item. It is therefore a little delicate, and not suitable for young children due to small parts.


Please also note - Some products may be subject to import taxes and custom duty fees after arriving in the country of destination. Whilst I do my best at my end to avoid these, all import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer, so please be aware of this when buying internationally!
