Each Pewter Roadrunner sculpture is hand-cast and meticulously finished to capture the bird’s sleek lines and spirited personality. The figure is mounted on a polished agate slice, each chosen for its unique color banding and translucence—making every piece distinct. The combination of lustrous pewter and the natural patterns of agate creates a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and geology.
Agate, a banded form of chalcedony (SiO₂), forms inside volcanic cavities as mineral-rich silica layers deposit over millennia. Each slice displays one-of-a-kind bands and hues ranging from earthy browns and grays to delicate pinks and blues. The stone’s durability and polish make it a perfect base for decorative art.
The roadrunner, native to the deserts of the American Southwest, is a symbol of agility, adaptability, and curiosity. Long revered in Native folklore as a messenger and protector, it represents quick thinking and resilience in harsh landscapes. When paired with agate—a stone of grounding and strength—the result is a sculpture that celebrates both nature’s grace and endurance.
Materials: Cast pewter figure on natural agate slice.
Dimensions: Approximately 2.75 inches long.
Color: Silver-toned pewter complemented by multicolored agate base.
Display Use: Ideal for office desks, curio shelves, or Southwestern décor collections.
Agate is associated with balance and grounding, while the roadrunner symbolizes speed, intelligence, and adaptability. Together they represent purposeful motion—grounded energy in graceful movement.
Dust gently with a soft cloth. Avoid moisture or chemical cleaners on pewter. Handle carefully to protect the polished agate edges.
