Hedwig
Green mountain Jade (China)
10"
In Indian, Greek and western cultures, the owl is associated with wisdom. Their nocturnal vigilance is associated with that of the studious scholar or wise elder. The snowy owl is the symbol of endurance, representing big dreams along with the ability to achieve them; the sign of new beginnings and moving forward with all one's might.
Hedwig was Harry Potter's pet snowy owl, named for Saint Hedwig Of Andechs, the patron saint of orphans.
Hedwig (formal name Jadwiga) was the first female monarch of the Kingdom of Poland reigning from 16 October 1384 until her death in 1399. She was coronated King, as no Queen had been ruler prior to her ascension to the throne.
