White Folk Art Owl with Bright Yellow Eyes on Driftwood vintage lacquer Makah baskets very similar toJust a charming little folk art snowy owl, made of carved wood and painted white, with little wire claws that hold tight to the branch upon which he rests. I especially love his yellow glass eyes, shining bright! 4" tall x 2 5 8" deep x 5 1 2" long.
