Cast Iron Cow Weathervane with Base

A floor-standing decorative weathervane featuring a cow motif, constructed from heavy cast metal, likely cast iron. The topper is composed of a molded silhouette of a cow, exhibiting anatomical details such as ribs and an udder, standing upon a directional arrow with a fletched tail and spear-point head. Below the arrow is a central vertical rod supporting four fixed directional arms with large serif-style letters (N, S, E, W) and a central spherical ball ornament. The assembly is supported by a heavy, ornate four-legged cast metal base featuring scrolled feet and decorative relief molding. The entire piece finished in a distressed, blue verdigris-style paint over a dark metal substrate. No manufacturer marks, foundry stamps, or signatures are visible on the base or body of the item.
