DescriptionThis bib is off-white, made from a plain-woven cotton fabric. On the center front, there is an embroidered image of two owls (one large, 3 x 1 3/4 inches, and one small, 2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches) sitting on a tree limb. Underneath is written "Owl ready for supper" in matching embroidery. All of the embroidered work was done in off-white yarn and is roughly 6 x 4 3/4 inches. Two off-white buttons made of shell serve as the closure at the back of the bib's neck piece.
