Here is a splendid animal fetish of an Owl.
The main carving is done out of deer antler. You are able to see the different color variations from the white, inside of the antler on the front of the owl to the dark, outer brown of the antler on the wings. The eyes and the beak are not antler; they are both delicately carved out of mother of pearl shell, giving a slight iridescence that is better noticed in person.
While each tribe views the animals differently, the Zuni say their Owl is the protector of the home. He represents wisdom and truth and has the ability to see what others cannot. What do you think about Owls?
