Zebra Calcite Bird, Horned Owl by Cody Nastacio

A lean white, gray and black streaked horned owl carved by Cody Nastacio looking to its right side with bright blue turquoise inlaid eyes. Cody has carved the feet as one simplified form for added stability. There are lines incised on the wings to signify the feather rows. The Zuni people generally view the horned owl, often called "the Night Grandfather," as a protector of the home, a guardian of ancestral knowledge, and a symbol of wisdom. As a keeper of the night, it symbolizes the ability to navigate the unseen, clairvoyance, and the uncovering of deception.
