wooden owl

Owls are magnificent creatures often related to knowledge and mystery. Their captivating appearance inspires the fabulous Balinese home accents featured in a lovely gift set curated by the NOVICA team. Embellished with hand-painted golden, white, black, blue and red details, a striking owl statuette is skillfully carved by hand from local crocodile wood. A wise and charming owl handcrafted from suar wood crowns a splendid decorative box that holds a secret: four pieces linked together like a puzzle allow you to hide personal treasures inside. A precious doorstop with a petite brown owl posing mysteriously as the centerpiece is hand-carved with precision from jempinis wood, serving both utilitarian and decorative purposes.

This dazzling collection showcases the weaving traditions of Chiapas, where Maya women work on the backstrap loom just as their ancestors did in pre-Hispanic times. A red cotton tote features rainbow stripes and embroidered flowers on the front. The purse opens to a roomy, unlined interior for your belongings. The handwoven floral cosmetic bag is also embroidered. Inside is a small zipper pocket.

A petite copal wood owl alebrije adorns the key chain. They originated in 1936 in Mexico City when Pedro Linares became ill and fell into a coma. He dreamed he was caught between the land of the living and the dead in a forest-like place, populated with fantastical hybrid creatures. They repeatedly cried alebrije! After recovering, the artisan recreated these figures in bright papier mache and called them alebrijes.

Two petite beaded bracelets complete the set.

A symbol of wisdom, adorable owls grace the whimsical accessories from Bali featured in a delightful gift set curated by the NOVICA team. A striking puzzle box, exquisitely hand-carved from suar wood in the shape of a serious-looking owl, opens to reveal a single compartment for storing small essentials. Sterling silver in a combination finish is employed to craft the fine, feather-like details of a stunning pendant necklace and matching dangle earrings, with scintillating amethyst stones giving the owl's eyes life and a watchful disposition.
