Owls are found in many regions around the world, including the forests, mountains, and rural areas of Ecuador. They are nocturnal birds of prey known for their silent flight, sharp vision, and exceptional hearing, which make them highly effective hunters at night.
Owls play an important role in ecosystems by helping control populations of rodents and other small animals. While most owl species are not currently endangered, habitat loss and environmental changes can affect local populations.
Each figure is individually hand-carved by artisan families, meaning every owl has subtle variations that make it unique. A creative wooden piece designed to spark imagination, artistic expression, and a deeper appreciation for wildlife.
“Working with Amalgama has allowed me to support my family while keeping our craft traditions alive.”
