At first look it appears as though this artefact was part of some statue from roman times.
But in fact it was not the work of some ancient artist – rather it came from outer space.
It is an iron meteorite, an an incredibly rare one at that.
The matchless specimen was found in 1992 by indigenous tribesmen in Namibia’s Kalahari with the aid of a metal detector.
The eyes have it: The two holes in the meteorite make it extremely rare – and give it the appearance of an owl
Part of the The Macovich Collection in New York City, it is going up for sale on Sunday at the Natural History Signature Meteorite Auction. It is estimated to fetch between £85,000 and £100,000.
The auction website said: ‘It is extremely rare for meteorites to have naturally formed holes, and rarer still when the holes are positioned in the matrix in such a way as to yield a magnificent aesthetic specimen-let alone the highly zoomorphic example seen here.
