The Peppers are realistically modelled as a pair of owls with chased bodies to simulate the feathers. Both have red glass eyes and the heads are pierced to allow the pepper to be released. Both are in excellent condition and are marked on the tail feathers. Owl peppers are very rare, however to find a pair is very special.
