This an absolutely stunning sculpture by military artist Andre D Gauthier (1935-2017)
The piece is called “Snowy Owl”. "Snowy Owl" (1980) depicts a Snowy Owl in early winter, the main charge of the badge of the Canadian Land Forces Command and Staff College
Andre D Gauthier was a well known retired decorated colonel, before he became a sculptor. His works sit in the homes of 2 Prime Ministers, The Governor General, and British Monarchy.
Gaulthier’s statues and monuments (many large and permanent) can be found across Canada, in museums, and internationally.

There is a small piece chipped on the back of one wing. I have checked with art experts in NY and it is very easily restored. Not visible from the front whatsoever.
