Handcrafted from copper enamel. Enamel/Pewter In ancient Greece, owls were often seen as a symbol of good fortune. In Babylon, owl amulets were used to protect pregnant women. In the Lorraine region of France, owls are believed to help spinsters find husbands. This whimsical ornament is hand crafted in the style of the Russian Imperial court jeweler, Carl Fabergé. Carl Fabergé and his craftsmen created magnificent enamel of various designs not only for Russian nobility, but also for European dignitaries and the Fabergé shops. Created from copper sheet, it is then hand painted with special enamels and fired in a kiln to create the beautiful glass-like finish. 3-1/2" x 1-1/2"
