Vintage Carved Alabaster Owl

Carved animal figurines have been created for millennia across various cultures, serving purposes ranging from religious icons to decorative objects and toys. Materials used have varied widely, including wood, bone, stone, and later, synthetic materials like resin. The owl, in particular, has held symbolic significance in many societies, often associated with wisdom, mystery, and the night.

This carved owl, often made from alabaster and still has the sticker. The style is pretty on par with other mid-century carvings which makes me guess this one most likely is from that time period.
