A wonderfully expressive carved wooden owl, featuring finely detailed featherwork throughout and a pair of inset glass eyes that lend the bird a striking, lifelike appearance. Fully carved from wood, the owl displays deeply incised plumage, prominently defined wings, upright ears, and finely rendered talons resting upon a rounded base. The surface exhibits a rich, warm brown patina with attractive signs of age and wear. Presented on a custom-made metal display stand. Likely uses as a lodge/oddfellows society piece, possibly the handle to an original staff.
The owl measures 12 inches tall, or 16 inches tall overall including the custom stand.
