 figures of owls, in which the Zunians appear to have made the nearest 

 approach to the true form. They are generally of white ware, decorated 

 with colors. Ofren these decorations are arbitrary, but as a general 

 rule there has been an evident attempt to imitate nature so far as it 

 could be done with the various shades of brown and black.
