Owl Hieroglyph

Owl hieroglyph detail.

The owl hieroglyph fascinates me. This image is made up of nine versions from a wide range of chronology and geography. It shows how certain aspects of the hieroglyph were constant and some were changeable. It's not quite right for any particular owl species, having elements of several, so I think of it as "essence of owl".
