Ancient Owl Eyes (hand carved)
By Michael Breckenridge
Accession No.: 2006020503
Composition: Hand Carved Betel Nuts
Dimensions: each eye is 1.5 inches wide
Description: Many Native American tribes have ancient traditions about the watchfulness of owls, flying over the encampments at night, uttering lonely hoots into the forest. In Washington state, one of the most dramatic petroglyphs is of a pair of wise old owl eyes that stare into the distance along the Columbia River. Let these little eyes hand-carved from betel palm seeds (betel nuts) keep watch over your prized possessions. This piece was sold on 31 March 2007 at the Interplayers Benefit Auction, supporting professional live theater performance in Spokane, Washington, USA.
