拍品描述
A full-bodied running horse weathervane featuring a molded copper body and a cast metal head. The surface retains areas of original gilding alongside a developed verdigris and oxidized patina. The figure is mounted to a horizontal rod with a vertical support post. Physical details include an embossed mane, tail, and defined musculature. The construction of a molded copper body paired with a cast zinc head is a hallmark of the J.W. Fiske Iron Works of New York. This specific galloping pose is consistent with the 'Black Hawk' or 'Ethan Allen' models featured in Fiske's 19th-century catalogs. h. 18 x w. 33 x d. 4.5 in. Inventory Code: 3BA-1
