Nelson Yatsattie
is backordered. We will ship it separately when it becomes available.
A roadrunner's tracks are impossible to follow due to the fact they are shaped like the letter X. They are fearless birds who have been known to take on a rattlesnake. Because of these traits, the fierce roadrunner's spirit has a role in many healing and curing rites. Nelson Yatsattie sculpted this stunning bird from a desert-hued Picasso marble. Layers of etched plumage are beautifully rendered as is a hooked beak. A turned head with crest and turquoise inlaid eyes are ever vigilant. About 3 3/4" long, 1" wide and 2 1/2" tall.
Smart and very quick, roadrunners dwell in dry desert regions and get the water they need from the prey they eat. Nelson Yatsattie's turquoise-eyed roadrunner has been carved from atlantisite, which is a natural combination of a yellow-green serpentine with areas of purple stichtite. This stone is said to remove stagnate energies. An etched crest and long tail feathers provide balance to this approximate 4 1/4" long, 1" wide and 1 1/4" tall feathered friend.
