Carolina Sandoval: Little Owl Alebrije

This roly-poly little owl by Carolina Sandoval keeps things simple and charming, big turquoise-ringed eyes taking up most of its round face, giving it that permanently startled, wide-awake look owls do so well. Its mustard-yellow chest is dotted all over with white and yellow polka dots, while the deep maroon back features a flame motif licking up from the base, a fun bit of flair against the speckled feathers. Hand-carved from copal wood, an authentic piece of Oaxacan wood carving small enough to perch anywhere, big on personality. Origin: Oaxaca Dimensions: 3.5''Tall 2''Long 1''Wide
