Karen carved a stunning picasso marble owl with intricately detailed features and sharp, keen eyes that seem to follow you wherever you go. The natural dark and light striations of the marble add depth and character to the piece, giving it a sense of life and movement. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in the way each feather is delicately carved, making the owl appear as though it could take flight at any moment. Karen's passion for carving truly shines through in this exquisite piece.

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.”
