        Melody actually posted a photo on Facebook!  The post is dated January 1, 2009:

        This is the rarest Windstone.
        Really!
        We sold One of these in a store, then we decided that this netsuke style of sculpting was not the direction we would go in .
        This monkey is painted in brown, but the three other ones in existence are painted with silver fur and pink faces and paws.

          Melody added in the Comments: Yes, he is a bit creepy looking. That’s why we decided not to do more of these at the time. This monkey is only about 3 inches tall. … I am not even sure that we have a master for it, but I would like to re-issue this one. I kinda like it. It really isn’t quite as spooky looking as this photo makes it seem. We could make a mold on one of the two monkeys I have and start over. … He’s sort of a generic baboon type monkey

              I like creepy. I know it’s just the shadow making his face look so spooky, but I’m a fan.

                Silver and pink would make him look like one of those mountain baboons that hangs out in Japanese hot springs.

                  [pedant]The Japanese snow monkeys are a species of macaque. Macaques fill the same ground-dwelling niche in Asia and north Africa that baboons fill in sub-Saharan Africa.[/pedant]
                  And some trivia – Japanese macaques are the northern-most species of monkey in the world. Most species wouldn’t survive freezing temperatures.

                      One of the silver and pink monkeys has returned home to us recently, so I can get a good pic of it sometime.

                    I have seen photos of those Japanese monkeys sitting around in hot springs, really cute! But I wonder, what do they do when they get out? They’d be all wet AND freezing!!

                      We were stationed in Japan a few years ago and were able to go to see them and the getting out did not seem to affect them.  They just shook off the water and would go running around in the snow.

                        My bad.  Faulty memory.  I had the silver and pink right, but the wrong type of monkey.
