This striking necklace is based on an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph (it's #G17).
Owls were honored in ancient Egypt because they were believed to accompany and protect spirits of the newly dead in their journey from this world to the afterlife. This was probably because owls are nocturnal and the night was associated with death, just as sunrise was associated with re-birth.
In fact, owls were so revered that, unlike other animals, they are shown in hieroglyphs and in Egyptian art as facing frontward - maybe because owls can turn their heads completely around.
This is an impressive necklace, not just for its size and the almost mesmerizing owl face but for its intricate detailing which is made even more dramatic with an antique effect.
