Jicarite Bird, Horned Owl by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam

$ 42.00

A small jicarite horned owl carved by the couple Leland Boone and Daphne Quam with an incised beak and big turquoise inlaid eyes. Jicarite is a term associated with varieties of wonderstone sandstone - prized for its durability and vibrant, swirling bands of pink, red, orange, and sienna veins. The horned owl is named for the tufts of feathers that sit on top of its head, called plumicorns. The Zuni people generally view the horned owl, often called "the Night Grandfather," as a protector of the home, a guardian of ancestral knowledge, and a symbol of wisdom. As a keeper of the night, it symbolizes the ability to navigate the unseen, clairvoyance, and the uncovering of deception.
