Glaukopis is the name of the owl companion of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and patron of crafts and weaving. I have the bird sitting on the handle of an antique spinning wheel (Period Louis XV Spinning Wheel in Rose Wood, Violet Wood, and Gold Gilt). The wallpaper in the background is based on a 1950s Jacobean-style print by Schumacher & Co in the US.
