**Joanasie Manning SIGNATURE Owls carving
Masterpiece Carving! Museum quality Sculpture!
Owls roost together to find mates, keep warm, share information and watch for predators.
A group of owls is called a "parliament".
97 is a magical carving by Master Carver Joanasie Manning.
Joanasie is internationally recognized for his Signature Canadian Snowy Owls.
Manning's Owls are easily recognizable for their somewhat square proportions, large inlaid eyes with their big black pupils and white sclera, triangular nose and chunky feet.
Joanasie loves to place his Owls in family groups or in parliaments of adult birds.
I love how Joanasie's Owls are frequently comical, quizzical, bewildered or sometimes stern!
Their personalities lift your mood and immediately bonds you to them.
Usually Manning's birds are a jet black colour but here he has used a beautiful mottled green speckled with rich gold.
97 is especially unique.
I can't recall a Manning carving where a young Owl is sitting on the back of his parent!
The adult bird seems taken by surprise but is completely willing to take on this responsibility.
How many Manning Owls are in your collection?
They are very hard to resist.
