Picasso Marble Bird, Horned Owl by Derrick Kaamasee

$ 70.00

A gray, black and brown veined Picasso marble horned owl with turquoise eyes inlaid to concave eye sockets - carved by Derrick Kaamasee perched on a stone outcropping viewing its world. Derrick has incised lines all over the owl's body to describe the bird's feathers - utilizing different patterns that never seem repetitive; only descriptive. The claws are carved in low relief in the front and thanks to the stone outcropping the bird is perched on; the tail can elegantly flow downwards on the backside. 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.
