Antler Bird, Horned Owl by Robert Michael Weahkee

A regal prominent gray colored horned owl carved by Robert Michael Weahkee looking backwards with a burnished forehead and concave eye sockets that in turn are inlaid with turquoise and jet beaded eyes. Robert has given this strking owl an elaborate offering bundle featuring citrine and amber beads that surround a longer quartz clear elongated bead - placed at the center. 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: Robert Michael Weahkee (signed) Size: 1-1/8 in. wide x 1-1/8 in. deep x 3 in. tall #62488
