Lovely vintage white onyx owl. Owls have long symbolized wisdom and knowledge. This one has a good weight, sits flat and has been intricately hand-carved. There is muted veining (the photos make the veining appear darker than they are) and because of the coloration differences, one eye appears more prominent than the other. His finish is lustrous and he has no detectable chips or cracks. He's very charming with a nice hand feel.
Nice to add to a stack of books, tabletop, or as part of a vignette.
