Sculpture of a standing owl, with vertical slot on the back Marble

This standing owl is one of the finest marble pieces found at Anyang. The owl is vividly depicted with a pointy beak, round eyes and thick arched brows and covered with various decorations. On its back a long groove runs from head to tail, and it may have been designed for use as architectural ornamentation. The owl is often represented in Shang art, with examples in bronzes and jades. The decorations on this piece are similar to those found on its bronze counterparts.
