This is a detailed hand coiled and traditionally fired lidded owl jar. It is slipped with natural pigments. Jennifer excels in her ability to accurately portray owls. She has placed two owls on the pot, back to back. One has outstretched wings, and the other is in a full front on pose. Look at the accuracy of these elegant birds. She also has them in their natural habitat- in the trees with detailed branches and twigs. The colors she added are beautiful. Jennifer sculpted another owl, to sit atop of the jar as a lid. There is a stair stepped pattern on the lid. It’s a wonderful work of art.
