Description: | This whistling bottle has been formed into the shape of an owl. The body of the owl is round in shape and two feet and a tail have been formed. The head of the owl turns to one side. Both the nose and eyes have been modelled and sit within a carved area which defines the face. The neck of the bottle rests upon the birds back. Between this and the back of the head a handle has been formed which is pierced with a small hole. The bottle is made from pottery - the bottom half has been painted with an orange pigment whereas the top half is a deep red colour. The nose and face of the owl are covered in a white pigment. A number of scratches cover the bottle revealing the material underneath. A black deposit can be found in places on the surface and a chip can also be found on the rim of the neck.
