Beautiful and characterful hand-carved owl sculpture made of solid wood. This heavy and solid piece is executed with great detail, from the expressive eyes to the refined feather pattern.

A unique feature of this sculpture is its construction: it is carved from two parts and expertly glued together. This is visible on the back but completely invisible on the front – a traditional craftsmanship technique often applied to larger, solid sculptures.

The warm, dark brown patina and the rich carving give the sculpture a powerful presence. The owl symbolizes wisdom, making this object not only decorative but also meaningful.
