Cow Weather Vane 1935 - 1942

This anonymous work from 1935 - 1942, is a metal weather vane depicting a stylized cow in profile. The weather vane, made of metal, is a traditional form of folk art that was used to indicate wind direction. The cow's form is simplified, and its surface is textured with areas of dark brown and light gold, giving it a unique aesthetic. The weather vane stands on a simple metal rod. It is a charming example of folk art from the early 20th century, a testament to the enduring appeal of functional art.
