This picture came about as a result of a Project Sanctuary exercise - to go on a Vision Quest and find an archaeological artefact.
I found this object, about the size of a hand, made from golden alien material and at first thought it to be an owl statue, or a statue of an owl god, but on further investigation, it turned out to be an alien machine, a cross between a mobile phone, a homing beacon and a key to lead me to a mysterious city of gold.
That is how it got its name - The Non Owl Artefact or NOA for short.
