More than just miniature, these tiny owls are more like insect-size. And yet even at this small scale they're unmistakably owls thanks to careful detailing of their big disk-like eyes, pointy ears, and claws gripping the branch on which its resting. An oxidized finish darkens the silver and highlights the details.

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.
