In Indian lore, owls are regarded as wise, clever, and a little mysterious. Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, is often depicted riding an owl. This inquisitive blue creature is hand-carved and hand-painted by artisans in the southwestern Rajasthan region of Marwar. Owls are a common decoration in Hindu homes, and this calm creature reflects the handcrafted art that is a Marwari craft hallmark. Please allow for variations as each piece is unique. Handmade in India. 6''W x 7 1/2''H x 3 1/4''D.
