Strange, yes. Interesting, definitely! Handmade shell art souvenir art from Nags Head, North Carolina!
The vintage seashell owl figurine is crafted from a variety of natural seashells, including larger shells for the body and wings, smaller shells for detailing, and a distinct shell for the beak.
Main Body and Wings:
The primary structure of the owl, including its body and wings, appears to be made from larger, fan-shaped or bivalve shells, potentially with natural brown and white variations.
Eyes and Detailing:
Smaller shells, possibly cream-colored or natural-toned, are used for intricate details, such as outlining the wings and ears.
Beak:
A natural gold-colored shell forms the beak of the owl.
Base:
The owl is mounted on a base that may also incorporate shells or a heavy material like plaster covered with shells.
This guy measures 5 1/2" tall x 4 1/4" wide. He is in beautiful condition, completely intact and no broken pieces or cracks.
