A wreath of entwined curved branches handsomely frames this owl, whose body is shown in profile while his head is swiveled a full 90 degrees to stare straight at us. Everything is nicely detailed about this pendant – the richly feathered body, bushy eyebrows and satellite-dish eyes, and the woody wreath.

According to Greek myth, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, always sat with an owl on her blind side, so that she could see the whole truth. Many other cultures, from the Vikings to native Americans, have also celebrated the mysterious bird of the night, believing in its wisdom and magic.
