General Washington Mounted on a Horse
Weathervane of General Washington Mounted on a Horse with His Sword Drawn. American, probably New England, ca. 1860-80. Sheet iron with polychrome paint. Excellent condition, with traces of the original painted surface and minor areas of re-soldering on structural elements. This is a unique example of an individual craftman's work. Unlike factory-made weathervanes, we would categorize this piece as folk art. Illustrated: The Art of the Weathervane, Steve Miller.
