Two objects, both simple, sitting one on top of the other. The lantern takes the lower half: a round vented cap, a tall wire handle arching over it, a glass body braced with a cross of two diagonal struts, a small burner block at its base and a stepped foot with ring lines around it. Above, the owl stands with four toes hooked over the lantern's cap, its body a plain rounded shape and its eyes two big circles with heavy pupils under a pair of soft tufts. Short chest ticks run in loose rows, and each wing is one long curved line laid against the body. Nothing on this page needs a fine tip. The lantern is the interesting decision. Metal parts done in gray or black with the glass panel left white gives you the strongest contrast, and a child who wants the lamp lit can put yellow behind the struts instead and get a real glow out of it. Old lanterns like this burned paraffin and were built with that wire cage precisely so they could be hung from a hook or a branch, which makes the owl's choice of perch a reasonable one.
