Owl Figurine Vessel with Polychrome Lid and Clay Appliqued Feathers
Owl Figurine Vessel with Polychrome Lid and Clay Appliqued Feathers (#24)

The owl is Gachupin’s signature piece. Each feather is individually applied and the owl’s face lifts off revealing the figurine is a jar. Lines of triangles radiate from the eyes, symbolizing the mountains in which the bird resides.
