5 3/4" x 4 3/8"

Antique Cast Iron Weathervane Arrow woven wall hanging then opened his own studioI believe this arrow is a fragment of a 19th century weathervane, and judging from the aged surface of the iron, it spent many years pointing one way or another. I've rarely met an arrow I don't like, but the combination of form, material and surface make this I think a pretty great one. 15 3 8" l x 3 1 8" t x 1 1 4" d and in very good aged condition, very sound and stable.
