The Owl Nouveau Cowl takes us back to one of my favorite periods of art – Art Nouveau! By combining the majestic barn owl (another fave of mine) and the embellishments you can find in a Mucha painting, this cowl is perfect for art lovers, witchy men and women, gods and goddesses, and bird peepers alike.
