It's an owl and bird carved out of picture jasper and fishrock, perched ever so gracefully on a stump carved from antler. The use of picture jasper and fishrock adds a mesmerizing touch of natural beauty to the overall composition. But what truly caught my eye was the choice of using an antler for the stump. Its rustic appeal perfectly complements the earthy tones of the jasper and fishrock, creating a harmonious blend of organic elements. 

Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) meaning. 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.
