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.
