Silver Creek triangle man (Colorado) Petroglyph wall art — Hand-Sculpted 4×6 Clay Wall Art

$72.00


A subtle tribute to ancient voices carved in stone.
This 4×6-inch wall sculpture is hand‑crafted from clay infused with iron and manganese‑rich pigments, reflecting the dark desert varnish and warm sandstone of Colorado’s sunbaked canyons. Many petroglyphs across the region—including those at Mesa Verde and Dinosaur National Monument—were carved by chipping through that varnish to reveal the lighter rock beneath.

These timeless glyphs, created by Ancestral Puebloans, Fremont peoples, and other indigenous cultures between around 300 to 1300 CE, often feature humanlike figures, animals, and symbolic shapes—each a fragile dialogue between humans and the land.

Rendered with restraint and texture, this piece invites an ancient whisper into modern spaces—quiet, tactile, and enduring.

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.
