This is a realistic ceramic owl with sharp eyes. I purchased it on a trip several decades ago. The fine carvings and lines are very beautiful and realistic, and it's a piece I haven't often encountered. Although it was expensive, I was drawn to its charm and bought it. Its solid presence is powerful, and it has resided in the alcove of my home for many years, but I am putting it up for sale due to decluttering. I don't believe I've damaged it, but there is a chip on the left wing and what appears to be a chip on the left ear, so please take a look at the photos and make your purchase with your understanding. The ear part is not very noticeable, and there is no noticeable dirt, but please purchase if you understand that it is an old item.
