An American folk art weather vane featuring a full-bodied molded metal rooster, likely copper or zinc, with an embossed sheet metal tail. The rooster is depicted in profile with a prominent serrated comb, large wattles, and stylized feather detailing on the tail. The surface exhibits a dark, naturally aged patina with prominent verdigris oxidation and surface pitting. Residual traces of an early polychrome painted finish are visible, including yellow pigment on the beak and legs, and remnants of reddish-brown on the comb and wattles. The piece is mounted for display on a contemporary tiered, black-painted wooden base with a central vertical metal rod.
