rare dophin weathervane, American, circa 1890-1910

Description

White pine, three-dimensionally carved, with a fine silvery-gray patina and beautifully weathered surface, height 17inches, width 35 1⁄2 inches, depth at tail fin 13 inches.

Of a delightfully animated form, this is a highly individualistic and one-of-kind weathervane. Throughout
history, dolphins have played important roles in mythology and are universally considered symbols of good luck and protection.
