Metal Weather Vane: Glove c. 1941

"Metal Weather Vane: Glove" is a weather vane in the form of a hand, created by the artist Harriette Gale in 1941. The piece is crafted from metal and depicts a hand wearing a glove, a detail emphasized by a decorative band around the wrist. This work is a whimsical, unique example of functional art, combining practical use with aesthetic interest. The hand's outstretched gesture creates a dynamic presence, inviting the viewer to consider its symbolic implications, perhaps a gesture of welcome or direction. Gale's weather vane, like many other pieces of her work, showcases her talent for creating visually appealing and thought-provoking objects.
