Through a play on words, in Japan owls have come to be celebrated as bringers of luck and relievers of suffering.
🦉'Fukurō' (梟 'owl') can be broken down into homonyms for...
🍀'luck comes' (福 'fuku' /来 'ku' /郎 'rō').
🤕'without hardship' (不 'fu' /苦労 'kurō').

Owls make a regular appearance in Beniya Miyake's (紅谷三宅 @beniyamiyake) annual line-up.
Last autumn's creations were known as "owls that bring good fortune" (幸運を呼ぶミミズク)🦉😋

2/ Generally, birds seem to take up a noteworthy role in the iconography at #GöbekliTepe (and other related #Neolithic sites).
The #cranes mentioned above in particular stand out due rather muscular legs and what seems a more human-like #anatomy, including 'knees' and 'toes'.

3/ Do these #crane representations evoke the impression of #masked people?
Yet it was suggested that this even could be more than simple #masquerade: The visualisation of a transformation into the animal itself in the course of #shamanistic rituals?
