Whimsical Forest Owl Figurine with Bark-Textured Hat

This item is a decorative resin figurine depicting a stylized owl. The piece stands approximately 3 to 4 inches tall and is characterized by a unique fusion of naturalistic and cartoonish elements. The owl's head is topped with an oversized, floppy hat with a deep brown, bark-like texture that extends down the sides to mimic wings or foliage. The face features black bead-like eyes set against a yellow and orange airbrushed facial disk, accented by white raised dots (slip-trailing style) around the orbital area. The body is an off-white or cream color with olive-green scalloped patterns representing feathers. The construction material appears to be cast cold-cast resin or a similar polymer, allowing for the intricate, wood-grain detailing on the hat. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or fading, though there is a slight dust accumulation in the crevices of the textured 'bark.' There are no visible maker's marks or signatures, suggesting this is a contemporary mass-produced giftware item, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship is decent for a decorative souvenir, with consistent paint application and intentional textural contrasts that give it a rustic, folk-art charm.
