Haunting looking owls made in weird clay? Please help

What is the red stuff with white specks? They are very heavy and my first thought was reconstituted brick. In my attempt on searching I thought I found another animal with the same type eyes and it was some well-known artist that did these types of figurines in Denmark or Europe somewhere I thought I saved the page and now cannot find the original post I was looking at Just wondering if anyone here recognizes them They have a 70's vibe to me

Any help is appreciated

 

Gee, I’m thinking brick clay, too. Owls were a popular decorative motif in the 60s and 70s, yes. Do I see some felt pen marks or brush ink marks on the bottom?

 

I cannot make out anything that says if it says anything at all

 

I don’t think it says anything g as it could be a production mark or something like that. Just makes me think Asian production then.

 

Is that a stamp mark on the bottom left ? Also looks like writing,maybe some initials . If only would had better pics.

 

I was trying to mark the image I cut out to show you that was the price I paid I didn't want you to confuse that with anything else that was there when I bought it

 

It thought it was at first but a close up did not help that thought lol

 

Anything else Anyone? Ty
