Description: Timucua owl totem, discovered in 1955 buried in muck on Hontoon Island (now Hontoon Island State Park) in the St. Johns River, and currently on display at Fort Caroline National Memorial. It is the largest pre-Columbian wood carving found in Florida, and the only totem of its kind in the eastern United States. There is question now that this might be Mayacan rather than Timucuan since the Hontoon Island area was not inhabited by Timucuans.
