Turquoise Bird, Horned Owl by Kateri Sanchez

$ 240.00

A turquoise horned owl with a prominent grayish brown matrix carved by Kateri Sanchez. The circular gold-lip and jet inlaid eyes have lines incised all around them creating dynamic emphasis. Kateri has incised arc like shapes on the back of the head and wings. There are vertical lines incised on the owl's chest and at the tips of the wings. 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.
