This charming Beaded Owl Figurine is by Zuni artist Lareena Malani. She has used seed beads of Black, White and Yellow to form this incredibly detailed piece. The Owl body consists of tightly strung maroon and black beads with yellow eyes and beak. 
 
Lovely tight beadwork. To the Zuni, owls are said to possess clairvoyance and the ability to uncover deception. 
 
5" tall- 1 3/4" wide (base) - 2" deep (base) It stands sturdily and is not flimsy.
