This
Polar Bear
Weathervane design is created in copper, brass and gold leafing. The
details of the bear's and seal's fur are enhanced with distinct
tooling and gold leafing. Glass eyes give them both a realistic look, particularly when the
sun glints through them. As with all our weathervanes, this Polar
Bear weather vane can be personalized by optional
gold leafing.
We have included the reverse view of
this Polar Bear weather vane to illustrate a distinction in the
way weathervanes can be made. This weather vane is an example of a non-mirror
image design. More typically, a weather vane is exactly the same on both sides,
however, to convey a sense of action, it often works better to have two
distinctly different sides. While more dynamic, this style of weathervane
requires greater skill to construct.
The polar bear (Ursus
maritimus) is a bear native to the Arctic. Polar bears and Kodiak bears are
the world's largest land carnivores, with most adult males weighing 300-600 kg
(660-1320 lb); adult females are about half the size of males. Its fur is hollow
and translucent, but usually appears as white or cream colored, thus providing
the animal with effective camouflage.
The polar bear is a vulnerable
species at high risk of extinction.
