What is in this image? Describe it as if you were explaining it to someone from the 15th century.

The image depicts two owls of different sizes perched on a branch. The larger owl has its eyes closed and appears to be in a peaceful, perhaps slumbering state. It holds a slender cord or string in its left talon, with a feather attached to the cord that floats above its head. This could be seen as an adornment or perhaps a playful toy. The smaller owl, also on the branch, mimics the larger one but faces its companion, also with its eyes closed, suggesting a serene and companionable moment captured between the two creatures. The simplicity of the drawing, with bold lines and minimal detail, emphasizes the calm and restful nature of the scene.
