Haunting Owl effigy, perhaps to hold incense or a fine tapered candle. Its really beautiful and order eerie. Made from fire polished terracotta.

I believe it could be very, very old. there is an old crack that goes above his left eye down below his belly and branches to his left hip. I don't think it's ever been repaired and believe it is from the kiln process. It feels stable.

I think it is Mexican or South American--perhaps North American Southwest.

Please request more photos or a video.

8.5" x 4.5", please see above mention about crack, there is a chip on the top of the opening about .5" x 1/8" order
