Sun-Headed (Canada) petroglyph— Hand-Sculpted 4×6 Clay Wall Art

$72.00


In honor of ancient Canadian vision.
This 4×6-inch wall sculpture is hand-sculpted from clay mixed with iron-oxide pigments, its surface capturing the cool texture of Canadian Shield gneiss—smooth yet touched by time.

The original glyph—a human-like stick figure crowned with a radiant circle—echoes a powerful motif across eastern Canada and the Shield region, where similar “circle-headed stick figures” are thought to embody spiritual or shamanic energy. At sites such as the Peterborough Petroglyphs, these figures often appear alongside animals and ritual symbols, possibly representing sun‑spirits or shamanic guardians with deep cultural resonance.

Minimal in form but rich in presence, this piece invites the quiet whisper of centuries-old symbolism into modern living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Imperfections, Shipment, and Custom Pieces

All pieces are handmade and one-of-a-kind. Pieces may have small imperfections, dimples, and blemishes. I try to be sure blemishes are included in the item’s photographs. Please keep this in mind as you order.

Pottery is fragile, so I package my pots carefully to avoid any items breaking in shipment. Sometimes, this can mean a large amount of shipping material is used. Boxes, shrink wrap, shredded paper, and bubble wrap are recyclable. Packing peanuts are biodegradable. Please recycle/biodegrade if possible!

Custom pieces can take about 4 weeks to create. I avoid delays as much as possible, but the kiln can have a mind of its own. I’ll notify you immediately if I expect any delays in the production process.
