Southern White-Faced Owl Pin
This pin is beautifully embroidered in the shape of a southern white-faced owl, in blue, brown, and purple thread and beads. Reminiscent of the jewelry and costumes seen in the Met Opera production of The Magic Flute.
Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape, and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces; this is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.

- 2.4” H x 1.2” W
- Hand embroidered in India
History
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte)
Mozart’s final opera (written before La Clemenza di Tito but first performed later) premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just weeks before the composer’s death, with Mozart conducting the orchestra from the fortepiano. A timeless fairy tale, it was a major success from the beginning and never lost its place as one of the most popular works in the repertoire. Julie Taymor’s beloved Met production opened in 2004. Its abridged English-language version, which returns in December 2013 as the company’s annual holiday presentation for families, inaugurated the Met’s Live in HD series of performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world in 2006.
