Horse Weather Vane c. 1938

"Horse Weather Vane" is a wooden sculpture created by Lloyd Broome, an American folk artist, in the 1930s. This piece is characteristic of Broome's work and is a prime example of American folk art, created with a focus on practicality and a whimsical artistic style. The sculpture is made of wood and features a horse in a dynamic, running pose, mounted on a base that suggests its function as a weather vane. The simple form and expressive lines highlight the beauty of a hand-crafted object. The weather-worn surface of the wood adds to the piece’s unique character.
