A true piece of American folk art, this hand-wrought iron weathervane captures a pheasant mid-stride, standing proudly atop a patch of grass. Made by an unknown artisan in the 20th century, it's entirely one-of-a-kind—hammered, shaped, and assembled by hand with a sculptor’s eye and a blacksmith’s skill. The form is simple yet expressive, with just enough detail to bring the pheasant to life while preserving a bold, graphic silhouette that weathervane collectors covet. Mounted on a custom wrought iron base, it was likely made for indoor enjoyment, though it could easily be mounted outdoors. The weathered surface and hand-worked irregularities give it the presence of something made, not manufactured—a rare quality in any genre of collectable. For the collector of folk weathervanes, or the lover of singular, soulful objects, this piece stands as a quiet celebration of rural life, handcraft, and American vernacular art.
