CanyonRoad will know for sure...............OH, CANYON ROAD!!
not sure but thats why i was thinkin hopi indian, hope someone knows what it is.
It's a souvenir owl, most likely from Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico. Acoma potters also make owls, but the way it is painted, and the way the beak is formed, is more characteristic of Zuni owls. Probably dates ca. 1950s.
(I'm away from home, and starting tomorrow will be out of internet or cell phone service for at least the next 10 days.)
this is definitely a zuni owl. here you can see a bunch of them: https://www.pinterest.com/ho2cultcha/zuni-and-acoma-polychrome-owls/
thanks for info, looks like them just must be an early one.

thanks for info. really helpful
although i agree that item is a zuni owl all examples i have seen there is a difference between mine and all i have seen. My owls feathers are done completely diff from other examples, is mine an earlier example?
