Rustic Hand Painted Metal retailer Agave Arizona Landscape Desert Cactus Metal Yard Art

A delightful rustic metal agave, the ideal landscape piece of yard art for a carefree plant that requires no watering or trimming and won't be eaten by critters or wild animals. Looks great in a planter or on its own.

Handcrafted in Mexico, this metal agave features a realistic center with the beginning of a leaf unraveling and each leaf features a beaded edge mimicking the spiny thorns found on a live desert agave. I have hand painted the exterior of the leaves with a Shiny Gold or Deep Gold base and finished with random and rustic strokes of iced turquoise for a unique and rustic look. Shiny Gold is a brighter more yellow base while Deep Gold is a retailer darker, almost rusty color. The interior of the leaves and any exposed areas of bare metal will continue to rust to a deeper brown when left unsealed and exposed to the elements or high humidity. A clear coat sealer may be applied at any time to maintain the current patina.

The metal base will rust in the rain and will leave a circular ring on the surface it is placed on such as concrete or tile, you may apply a sealer to the base or use a saucer or planter to prevent rust rings from transferring to the surface. This isn't necessary when placed in gravel or dirt.

Available in SHORT, MEDIUM or TALL:
SHORT measures about 11 to 14 inches tall and is about 9 to 12 inches in diameter at the widest with a round rolled metal base that is about 7 inches in diameter.
MEDIUM will measure about 17 to 19 inches tall and is about 10 to 14 inches in diameter at the widest with a round rolled metal base that is about 7 to 8 inches in diameter.
TALL will measure about 22 to 24 inches tall and is about 10 to 14 inches in diameter at the widest with a round rolled metal base that is about 7 to 8 inches in diameter.
As a handcrafted item, each one is individually made and no two are exactly the same so these dimensions
