Rooster weathervane c. 1890

This rooster weathervane, crafted around 1890 by an anonymous artist, is a charming example of folk art. The stylized rooster is cut from sheet metal and painted in a simple, bold manner, with red accents on the comb and wattles. The weathervane's patina of rust adds to its rustic charm, showcasing its long history and the weathering of the elements. It is currently part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
