ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
A majestic snowy owl sculpture emerges from recycled 40-gallon oil drums, transformed by skilled artisans in Zimbabwe into a symbol of endurance, patience, and wisdom. Each piece represents the remarkable African tradition of creating beauty from waste, turning discarded materials into meaningful art.
The craftsperson carefully shapes and details every feather and curve by hand, ensuring no two owls are exactly alike. Available in three sizes to perfectly complement your garden sanctuary or welcome guests at your front entrance.
This gentle guardian brings the timeless wisdom of the owl into your daily rituals, whether perched on your mantle as a mindful reminder or standing watch in your outdoor spaces as a connection to nature's quiet strength.

Across Africa, talented craftspeople carry forward artistic skills that, in founder Robbie Stewart's words, are often passed down through generations and represent an invaluable accumulation of knowledge and talent. Mbare calls itself a messenger of culture, committed to sustaining the spirit of Africa by sharing the beauty and integrity of African crafts with the world.
Robbie grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, and has always appreciated local art found at roadside markets, in urban workshops and in the homes of talented craftspeople. Mbare was born out of his vision of providing lasting sources of income for people and communities outside of the formal economy, and the company says it has worked for environmental and economic justice for more than 27 years.
In the Shona language of Zimbabwe, mbare means a gathering of things, or marketplace. Based in Athens, Georgia, the company has always believed that Africa needs trade, not aid, and describes its pieces as made with heart and rooted in heritage.
