Owl Figure2731/29

Hand coiled gray clay pottery owl. Details hand painted in similar tones of brown, orange and red on a burnished background of silver and gray. Mesh-like patterning of feathers on body extends up the back of the head and to the lower lip of the beak. Stubby tail and vertically extended wings protrude near the base and are striped on top side, spotted on bottom. From the spotted head, multi-lashed and double ringed eyes rise slightly in front of the comical ears. The beak once hooked over a hidden hole, now the mouth appears wide open.
