Product Description
Night Owl with oval slot : a symbol of night and wisdom
£30.00 £20.00
This unusual hand cast silver bead based on a traditional Moche great horned owl, has been hand cast in solid 925 silver by artisans in Peru. The Night Owl with an oval slot is designed to thread onto our hand made leather wrist straps with a solid 925 silver buckle. Please see ‘Additional Information’ below for dimensions.
STORY: The unusual ‘Night Owl’ hand cast silver bead is based on a traditional Moche owl figure. Owl symbols are often seen in Moche artistry in both metallurgy and ceramic decoration. The owl was worshipped as a God by the Moche and was believed to be a symbol of the night, quietly and wisely watching over their people both in battles and in daily life. The ears or horns in the owl icons can be likened to the the South American great horned owl (Bubo virginianus nacurutu) known today.
NB: The price above is for the solid silver bead only. Please see the jewellery collection for details on our range of compatible leather wrist straps with silver buckle.

STORY: This beautiful four pointed star shaped silver bead is based on a stone Moche mace head. The clubs were often formed in shapes related to nature, the cosmos and the gods whom they worshipped. Contact between the celestial world of stars and the earth was considered essential to achieve successful harvests, hence the importance of the star motif. The subjects in Moche art such as the warriors, priests and owls, were often depicted as whole scenes showing night skies full of stars across which crescent boats carried figures such as Si, the moon God.
