Cedar Bird, Owl by Ruben Najera

$ 135.00

A very large, polished cedar owl with turquoise and jet inlaid eyes carved by Ruben Najera sitting on a rocky perch. Ruben carved the head as a bulbous shape, then he incised lines that circle around the owl's eyes. Ruben used a chip carve style on the bird's chest and a concave dot pattern on the stump the owl is perched on - contrasting nicely with the feather tracts on the wings and tail. Note: Ruben has used a varnish on this carving that is very shiny. 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. It is common to feel spiritually activated when you see or hear an owl. They are messengers from the spirit realm - bringing wisdom, truth, and understanding of the mysteries of life.
