Pumpkin-head protector #OwlishMonday

#31DaysOfOctober #Spooktober

'The owl’s head... was made separately and does not directly attach to the backing. Instead, a small copper rod extends from the head into the bird’s body. This would have permitted the head to rotate from side to side when the object was moved.'

#OwlishMonday Not your usual classic owl but a charming contemporary perspective from Hiromi Nishizaka.

"If an owl comes to those parts,
Where some one sick is lying,
She comes to say without a doubt,
That that sick one is dying"

(Elias Webb "Welsh Folklore", 1887)

Probably my favourite #StFrancis window, by Edward Payne at Didbrook, #Gloucestershire, 1962, showing the saint preaching to a parliament of birds. Lots of loving detail of bird life, including a handsome #OwlishMonday for tomorrow! #StainedGlassSunday

Superb owls by the Exeter Cathedral Tapisers
