Pipestone Bird, Horned Owl by Jonas Hustito

A pipestone horned owl with gold-lip shell inlaid eyes carved by Jonas Hustito. 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. The feathery tufts or horns on the owl's head are considered signs of spiritually powerful beings for many tribes.
