This pair of double-sided owl pole ornaments is the only example of its kind excavated from the Yinxu site. The two artifacts are identical in form, each with a beaked owl head on both the front and back sides. The protruding upper beak, carved to be highly convex, curls inward. The owl’s horn, ears, eyes, and lower beak are rendered in bas-relief, and each eye has been incised to form the character mu (“eye”). There are plain and smooth on the top or bottom surfaces, with the top being diamond-shaped and the bottom being oval. A hole, which shows signs of wear, is found in the center of each piece, possibly used to attach the artifact to a shaft or other wood structure as ornamentation.
