The Stork Weathervane
carrying a Baby above, center,
was designed to sit on the ridgeline of a roof but can be made
into a weathervane if desired. Also note it was made in Nickel Silver and
Gold Leaf at the customer’s request but it can be made in the more
traditional copper and brass if desired).
The Stork Weathervane, on the
right (above) is made from copper with brass accents. The handcrafted
tooling gives the stork's plumage a lifelike quality. Optional hold leaf
accents on the feather tips will enhance their appearance over time as the
copper forms a patina on the surface and darkens in color.
Storks are large,
long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long stout bills, belonging to the
family Ciconiidae. They occur in most of the warmer regions of the world
and tend to live in drier habitats than the related herons, spoonbills and
ibises; they also lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish
slime. Storks have no syrinx and are mute, giving no bird call; bill-clattering
is an important mode of stork communication at the nest. Many species are
migratory |
