Spectacular Pacific Northwest Coast owl woodcarving by top Oaxaca artist Luis Pablo. This wonderful bird has such an appealing painted design, it is perfectly carved and has such expressiveness. The Pacific Northwestern Coast people believed owls represent our ancestors and are viewed with respect, it also considered a bird of wisdom and intuition. This owl has basrelief eyes and is decorated with different symbols. The Eagle, for example, is seen as a symbol of power and prestige and has a strong connection to peace.
