El Rito Fluorite Bird, Horned Owl by Melvin Sandoval

$ 160.00

A semi transparent El Rito, NM quarried fluorite horned owl carved by Melvin Sandoval - delivered to Sunshine Studio in December of 2024. The salient forms are the concave eye sockets and the plumicorns on the top of the owl's head. The great horned owl is named for the tufts of feathers that sit on top of its head, called plumicorns. The Zuni believe the owl can see what others can not - they assist in helping to root out deception and they can get to the essence of true wisdom. Owls are messengers from the spirit realm - bringing wisdom, truth, and understanding of the mysteries of life. Melvin left part of the back rough - contrasting nicely with all the polished areas.
