Log Figurine Appraisal

Wolf Sculptures Owl on Log Resin Figurine

This item is a decorative owl figurine perched upon a textured log base. The piece is crafted from a heavy composite material, most likely a graphite-infused resin or crushed stone typical of the 'Wolf Sculptures' or 'Stone Hens' style commonly produced in Canada. It measures approximately 4-5 inches in height and features a monochromatic gray color palette with a charcoal-toned wash used to accentuate the deeply incised details. Physically, the owl is depicted with a highly stylized, dense feather pattern that gives it a tactile, scalloped texture. Its eyes are large, almond-shaped, and deeply recessed, while the beak is small and pointed downward. The base represents a cut log, showing concentric growth rings on the ends and a jagged bark texture where the owl's talons are gripped. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible surface wear and slight discoloration along the lower edge of the log, suggesting age-related patina or shelf-wear. There are no major fractures visible from this angle, though the matte finish shows slight rubbing. This style of sculpture was popular in the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1980s) as a rustic souvenir or collectible folk-art piece. The craftsmanship is decent for a mass-produced resin item, utilizing a mold-cast process that captures fine serrated textures across the wings and facial disc.
