The nocturnal bird of prey, the owl, actively hunts for prey under the
cover of darkness. Much of the owls' hunting strategy depends on
stealth and surprise. The owl manages to be one of the most beautiful, stoic, captivating but mysterious birds. With one glance back this owl will capture your attention. Large forward-facing eyes and ear-holes, a hawk-like beak, a flat face, and a conspicuous circle of feathers makes the owl one of the most unique looking birds to take flight. The carefully detailed feathers overlap one another. It digs its talons into the tree branch it perches on, high above all other life.
In the veil of the night, the owl looks on, ready to take to the moonlit sky. This sculpture was cast using the brown patina. It is mounted on a marble base and is signed by Milo.
