Translation provided by Youdao
This is truly outstanding and the only tobacco leaf weathervane we have ever seen. Obviously it must have originated from the South, possibly from an old plantation. The mounting components display stylized tobacco elements featuring tobacco buds, all of which is rendered in iron and copper. Mounting components have remnants of old gold painted surface. The tobacco leaf, itself, is made of copper with green verdigris. Was supposedly originally found in Virginia. A truly unique, large, and impressive weathervane. SIZE: Overall 109″ h, leaf 48″ l x 14″ w. CONDITION: Generally very good. Leaf shows some re-soldering and one bud shows soldered repair. 52380-10 (10,000-20,000)
