Ox Weathervane

Sold

Attributed to Howard & Co., Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Ca. 1854-67.

The imposing size suggests that this Ox Weathervane was made on commission for a large barn. It is perhaps the largest example by Howard & Co. known to date. It is an exceptional piece based on its sculptural form, size, and virtually untouched condition.
