Serpentine Bird, Horned Owl by Jayne Quam

$ 75.00

A small horned owl carved from a piece of soft gold, grayish green and blackish gray veined serpentine. Carved by Jayne Quam, the owl looks to its right side with turquoise inlaid eyes. Jayne has added bits of stone and shell to create a nightscape with a spiny oyster moon, 3 pen shell triangles, purple alunite and abalone to name most. All the bits are surrounded by ground up chrysocolla that in turn is sanded smooth and polished. 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.
