The Drifter — Miniature Brass Manta Ray

Regular price $25.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

A solid brass manta ray caught mid-glide, wings swept back and cephalic fins curling forward like it's about to bank away. The whole surface is worked in fine stippled texture — the look of skin moving through water — with a warm antique patina settled into the grooves. Notably hefty for its size: at nearly 90 grams it has real paperweight presence in the hand.

The manta has long been a symbol of grace, freedom, and effortless movement — a creature that seems to fly rather than swim. A calm, grounding piece for a desk or shelf, and an easy gift for ocean lovers, divers, or anyone drawn to the quieter side of the sea.

STORY

The Drifter is part of our Tiny Objects collection — small, weighty pieces that carry meaning beyond their size.

Care Instructions

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Brass will develop a natural patina over time. To restore shine, use a brass polish.
