Like and save for later
Offering this hand carved wooden owl that looks to be a similar representation of the Greek styled owl, Athena's mascot. According to mythology, Athena at times took the form of her owl. The owl species depicted on Athenian Owls is the Athena Noctua, also called the Little Owl or Minerva. Unsigned and stylistically more carved in a loose folk art way. Shows some asymmetrical style carving, some evidence wear at the edges and right ear seems more blunted than the left. Most notably seen at the top uppermost view. One ear is more slightly peaked than the other. Defect- not sure if this is a damage flaw or if it’s the artist intent, the Greek owl does not have prominent ears. See photos. Displays in condition as shown, it’s stylish wide eyed design offers a different perspective of an owl in a wooden carving example. Not waxed or polished - but could benefit from some moisturizing care. Left untreated deliberately to show actual condition as not to mute the carved details. Non smoking pet free home. Consider viewing other owl listings-combine for discounted bundling. Please view photographs attached for condition review + sizing- it is part of this preowned handcarved owls items description. Preowned + vintage handcrafted items can have different perceptions of condition. Using the zoom feature sometimes can be helpful and often photographs can show more than words can indicate. If you have any questions or need to see any more photographs please don’t hesitate to ask.
