Hand-Painted Flying Owl Figurine / Ornament

This item is a small, hand-painted figurine or hanging ornament depicting an owl in mid-flight with one wing raised high. The piece appears to be constructed from a molded material, possibly resin, cold-cast ceramic, or dense wood, and is finished with a matte paint application. The color palette consists of naturalistic earth tones, including russet brown, tan, and creamy white, with darker brown accents used to simulate feather texture and the owl's facial features. A notable feature is the presence of small white flecks across the wings and back, giving the impression of light snow or natural plumage markings. The owl's face is rendered with concentric circular patterns around the eyes, characteristic of certain owl species like the Barn Owl or Great Gray Owl. The underside shows more rudimentary texturing on the feet. A small piece of twine or cord is visible near the wing joint, suggesting its use as a Christmas tree ornament or wall hanging. In terms of condition, the item shows minor wear consistent with handling, including slight paint scuffing on the protruding edges of the wing and tail. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-produced but hand-finished decorative style likely dating from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. No visible maker's marks or signatures are apparent in the provided view.
