About the Item

An Americana folk art copper weathervane circa early 20th century. The full-bodied piece depicts a Native American warrior in feather headdress and a wide belt shooting an arrow from his bow. The silouette showcases a strong graphic design and folk-art appeal. The surface shows significant discoloration and patina, prominent along the now exposed welded seams in keeping with natural aging outdoors. The weathervane is displayed on a custom base for display and can be rotated around the rod. From a US Virginia.
