Majestic Owls

March 2, 2019 - February 16, 2020

Owls in the cultures of the American southwest have been both feared and venerated.  Some communities associate owls with witchcraft and medicine, or birth and death. Other communities respect the owl for their skills as fierce birds of prey and regard the owl as a sign of wisdom. 

Majestic Owls includes pottery and katsina from the museum collection.
