The owl has very large wide spread feathers around its eyes. The colors in it are tan, brown, black, hues of blue and gray. I believe this piece to be made of Earthenware pottery piece. I am not really sure but the bottom has a grainy feel to it. The only flaw I see in this piece is the water and soil residue on the inside. The owl has no chips, cracks, crazing, or has been repaired. The colors are bright and vivid.
