Serpentine Bird, Horned Owl by Douglas Martza

$ 45.00

A detailed dark green and cream streaked serpentine horned owl carved by Douglas Martza looking to its right side with turquoise inlaid eyes. Douglas added a simple offering bundle with sinew to the owl's neck like a necklace utilizing coral and melon shell beads surrounding one larger turquoise bead. The 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.
