Owls represent wisdom, knowledge, change, transformation, intuitive development, and trusting the mystery as well as a symbol of protective, wise, and intuitive energy. They can turn head about 270 degrees, which is certainly much farther than what humans can do.
The long-eared owl has relatively large ear slits placed asymmetrically on the sides of its head, as in a majority of owls, with the left ear higher and right lower in order to allow them to absorb sound both from above and below.

This group sculpture is of exceptional quality, highly impressed feathers, finished in shiny glaze and hand painted in vivid hues of orange, brown and yellow.
