The detail is amazing, with every feather painstakingly etched into the stone. The color of the turquoise is rich and vibrant, adding to the charm of this piece. As you hold it in your hands, you can feel the smoothness and weight of it, a testament to its quality. It feels natural yet unique at the same time. The eyes of the owl seem to draw you in – they are so realistic and lifelike that you can almost imagine them blinking.

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.”
