A weathervane consists of a central pole, the directionals and an arrow. But the highlight of this contraption is the figurine. These devices come with a wide variety of figurines. Some may be the representation of the owner’s thinking pattern, while others may be an interpretation of his likes and desires. Look at one, and it may tell you volumes about its owner. The first Greek weathervane reflected the beliefs of the Greeks, when it showed the Greek god Triton pointing in the wind’s direction. The ninth century saw cockerels perched on church spires in response to the Pope’s decree to symbolize Peter’s betrayal. What does your figurine tell?
