In ancient Celtic, Hindu and Egyptian cultures, the owl is seen as the ruler of the night and seer of souls. This Aera Vida original piece depicts this symbolism by featuring a native Thai owl perched above a blooming lotus flower nest as it boldly surveys the dark of the night. By placing a tealight sized candle into the center of the lotus flower, this piece instantly comes to life by adding a powerful yet serene mood to nearly any room. Artisan Aree crafts this piece by hand from locally sustainable rain tree wood in her village in northern Thailand.

Aree was taught wood carving by her father when she was only a young girl. Her father was master carver from northern Thailand. Aree takes pride in her carvings and she has become very well known in her region, especially since she is one of only a handful of women woodcarvers. Aree's woodcarving business helps several local families in her province earn income.
