This reminded me of the whole "monkeys with fezzes" mystery. I've casually searched TC threads and the web and just haven't yet been able to nail down the mystery of where monkeys with fezzes came from. I've been taking pictures of these items at local flea markets when I see them. There are a surprising number of items to be found out here in my part of the US.

Sorry for the de-rail... Back to my work in the fields... Ooooh, look, there's some lovely filth down here!

It started with the movies, 1940s to 1960s, usually with a shady fez wearing Algerian spy who just happen to have a fez wearing monkey
on his shoulder.
