Picasso marble is a unique type of stone known for its striking black and gray patterns that resemble paint strokes from a Picasso painting - hence the name. Owls hold great significance in Native American culture, symbolizing wisdom, foresight, and intuition. This particular carving showcases the deep knowledge and respect that Native American artisans have for their cultural heritage. 

Owl (Muhukwi): Owls can see what others cannot and this is a large part of Owl (Muhukwi) medicine. Owl’s ability to do this reminds us of the importance of both worlds: the physical as well as the spiritual, perhaps the known and the unknown. Our willingness and courage to transform the unknown in ourselves into the known is a true source of wisdom. The Zuni Pueblo people call the owl “the Night Grandfather” because he does his work at night. Clairvoyant properties and uncovering deception have always been associated with Owl. Its connection with wisdom comes from Owl’s ability to discern that which cannot be “seen.”
