3"w x 3.5"h

$ 450.00

This owl figure by Margaret and Luther Gutierrez is a classic of their style.  They are always whimsical and this one has a lot of additional detail on the body and the head.  There are additional geometric patterns on the back and wings to represent the feathers.  The front of this piece has a rain cloud pattern with lightning.  They always painted the owls so that their eyes were different.  Typically Margaret would have made the piece and Luther, her brother, would have painted it.  This is one of the more intricate smaller owls I have seen, but definitely complex in design!  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “Margaret/Luther”.
