Snake Weathervane on Stand
A late 19th to early 20th century cut-sheet iron weathervane in the whimsical form of a coiled snake, its body rendered in a continuous looping silhouette with a pointed tongue extending from the head. Retaining a rich, naturally weathered patina, the piece is mounted on a simple iron stand for display. Originally functional as a directional ornament for a rooftop or barn, this sculptural form now reads as a striking piece of American folk art. Weathervanes of this style were commonly crafted in New England workshops during the period, though specific makers were often unmarked.
