Small Painted Gecko #6

For the Air Goddess — luck, in its brightest coat. In houses all over the warm parts of the world, a gecko on the wall means good fortune has moved in and intends to stay. This one — cousin to our Gecko #4, wearing his own unrepeatable pattern — was chalked onto a flattened, recycled steel oil drum and cut free by hand with a mallet and chisel, the way Haitian artisans have done since Georges Liautaud invented the craft in the late 1950s. Handmade means dimensions and finish vary slightly; yours will be the only one of its kind anywhere. Hang him by the door, over the potting bench, or anywhere the energy needs a little play. One in the shop. Approx. 5.5" x 9" x 0.5" · Hand-chiseled, hand-painted recycled steel wall art · Made in Haiti · Wipe with a dry cloth; shelter from harsh weather to keep the paint bright
