Great Horned Owl Luminary

Great horned owls don’t actually have horns, despite their name. What we call horns are actually called plumicorns, which are no more than tufts of feathers.

This Great Horned Owl Luminary is handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua. Each ceramic luminary is created from local clay, turned on a kick wheel, and hand-painted. The artisan uses a sharpened bicycle spoke to carve and etch the design into the clay. Finally, it is fired in a wood-burning kiln. For use with tea light candles, fairy lights, or electric lights. Approximate size: 4" wide x 5" high. Fair Trade.
