“falcons eyes”

Horus [in ancient Egyptian legend] was a god in the form of a falcon whose right eye was the sun, representing power and whose left eye was the moon, representing healing. Mr. Barrow expertly carved both front and back with the falcon eye - it is a beautiful sculpture.

“I always love John Barrows birds!”

I have several pieces from John Barrow, including every piece Ive seen by him featuring brightly colored birds. Im always watching for when he puts out a new colorful pieces featuring birds, and this was the first Ive seen in a while. I love birds, and the mosaic sculptures he makes are a really great fit when they are colorful. They also have a really nice aromatic smell to them which I think is the wood he uses—Ive noticed that smell in Sugos work (also a woodcarver from the Andes) as well.
