The owl has been a symbol of wisdom since Ancient Greece (associated with Athena), making it the most common animal chosen for office and library decor. In the 1970s, "Eyeglass Holder" figurines became a popular bedside and desk trend so that people wouldn't scratch their lenses by laying them flat on a table.
