La-ah-tee

Formed by hand from soft tan clay, its natural, earthy color resembles sun-baked sandstone or desert earth—subtle, calming, and deeply grounded. The clay has a matte finish, with a slightly rough, tactile texture that reveals its handmade origin. This small tan clay owl could serve as a protective figure, a thoughtful accent, or a spiritual object, simple in design yet rich in presence. It feels timeless—both ancient and enduring—a humble guardian with its wide, wise gaze. 

Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”
