DescriptionThis object is a stylized owl figurine comprised of ceramic. The entire object has a white-colored slip background, with details added in black and reddish-brown colored slip. Curving, black lines cover almost the entirety of the object and represent the owl's feathers. Small wings are visible folded at the owl's sides. The bird's beak and ears protrude from the main body of the object, and are mostly covered in the reddish-brown slip. A small hole is visible within the owl's beak. Its eyes sit between the ears and beak, and are comprised of both black and brown slip in a sun-like design. A small tail protrudes from the back of the object.On View
