Sculptural aryballos inspired by an ancient owl-shaped vessel, where function and symbolism merge in a single iconic form. The piece is modeled as a rounded, stylized owl, with large circular eyes, patterned wings, and layered feather motifs that wrap elegantly around the body. Rich contrasting tones and engraved details evoke the look of aged ceramic and slipped decoration, giving it the presence of a museum artifact brought into the digital age.
The owl-shaped aryballos is a small Greek perfume or oil flask dating to around 640 BCE, in the Proto‑Corinthian period.
Its dimensions in the Louvre example are approximately 5 cm high and 6.4 cm wide, making it a very compact vessel that could easily be carried or hung by a cord.
Designed as a compact object with strong silhouette and readable ornament, this aryballos is ideal for historical visualization, educational projects, or collectors of classical-inspired 3D art who appreciate small forms with a strong narrative character. UVS and texture available.
