Ancient Greek perfume vase in the shape of an owl, 650-640 BC🦉❤️ The Louvre, Paris 📷 by me #OwlishMonday #Archaeology

My photo shows a small Proto-Corinthian polychrome terracotta aryballos (perfumed oil container) in the shape of an owl. The pouring hole is under the tail. Height 5 cm, Width 6.4 cm. The owl is perched with its tail to the left and head to the right. It leans slightly forward with its head turned to face the viewer with large round eyes. The owl's chest is painted black. The eyes and plummage are intricately detailed in black on a pale cream slip. The lower three rows of feathers in the wing plumage are painted in alternating brownish-red, orangey-red, and black. Dated c. 640 BC
