Native American Jemez Handbuilt and Handpainted Owl Effigy by Marcella Yepa

Effigy pots are recreations of ancient vessels that have been found in many puebloan areas. It is believed that these pieces were created to depict the birds and animal life that were so important to the people. This owl is stately in his posture and his stare. Awarded a yellow ribbon for Third Place at the Chickasaw Festival Annual Meeting. It is a striking piece...and it comes with the ribbon.
