Onyx Bird, Horned Owl by Sherdine Tsalabutie-Tsatte

A striking gray, white, black, muted gold and brownish green veined onyx horned owl with gold-lip and pen shell inlaid eyes carved by Sherdine Tsatte - the mother of Loren Tsalabutie. We love the fringe like veins that circle the base. The great horned owl is named for the tufts of feathers that sit on top of its head, called plumicorns. The Zuni believe the owl can see what others can not - they assist in helping to root out deception and they can get to the essence of true wisdom. Owls are messengers from the spirit realm - bringing wisdom, truth, and understanding of the mysteries of life Artist: Sherdine Tsalabutie-Tsatte (signed) Size: 1-1/4 in. wide x 2-1/2 in. long x 2-1/2 in. tall #62341
