In the feline world, cats that have two colours (red, black, orange and yellow) other than white are called Tortoiseshell or Torties.
TORTIE is a SIGNATURE Joanasie Manning Owl who is cloaked in a rare Tortoiseshell colour of tangerine, chocolate brown and black.
Guaranteed, you have never seen such a STUNNING Manning Owl.
You will not be able to take your eyes off this breathtaking sculpture.
Inlaid eyes are Manning's magnum opus.
Manning is one of the few carvers that has mastered this grueling technique.
It takes great skill, patience and experience to fit them perfectly into the stone.
Something as simple as choosing the perfect colour for the eyes can make or break an Owl.
Manning uses caribou antler for the eyes.
They contrast and blend exquisitely with the serpentine stone.
The large round black pupils and the wide eyed look of the Owls impart innocence and inquisitiveness to the piece.
