Weather Vane Finial c. 1937

This detailed drawing, created by Filippo Porreca in 1937, depicts a weather vane finial. The finial is a rooster, a common symbol for weather vanes as the rooster is often associated with the rising sun. The artist meticulously rendered the rooster's intricate details, including its feathered tail, sharp beak, and perched stance. The drawing serves as a blueprint for crafting a functional and decorative weather vane, highlighting the artistic and practical aspects of this traditional architectural element.
