Shaka or Roadrunner or "Birds Up" Hand Sign Sculpture in Brass

The Shaka Hand Sign can mean many things: “Hang loose”, “Right on”, “Thank you”, “Take it easy” and even “Awesome”. In Hawaii, the Shaka Hand Sign expresses all of these friendly messages and more. It is primarily used as a greeting gesture or one to express thanks, acknowledgement, or even praise from one person to another.

To make the Shaka Hand Sign, the thumb and smallest finger are extended while the three middle fingers are curled.

The Shaka Sign is often associated with Hawaii and surf culture. It was originally adopted from local Hawaiian culture by visiting surfers in the 1960s, and its use has spread around the word.

Notably, University of Texas at San Antonio students, alumni, and fans have adopted this hand sign as their own. The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) hand sign is called the "Roadrunner" or "Birds Up".

PRIZE Sculptures are created in brass using the ancient method of lost wax casting and are polished by hand to achieve a high gloss finish. Due to the handmade nature of the sculptures, each piece varies slightly, and no two pieces are exactly alike.

The unlacquered brass, also called unfinished, living, or raw brass, will age and darken, or patina, over time.  Some think that this living finish improves with age. However, if you prefer to return the brass to its original shiny state, a polishing kit with our recommended polishing materials is included.

A meaning card (shown in photos) is included.
