Our Dancing Zebra Weathervane design was first commissioned to be mounted atop a newly built Dance Barn at a family home. Zebras are the clients favorite animals, practically a totem, and dancing is so much fun they needed a dedicated space for dance parties. This zebra looks to be having a really good time! To emphasize the fun aspect, this customer wanted the globe beneath the zebra to look like a disco ball. We achieved this look by applying optional palladium leaf gilding in a mirror ball type pattern.

The copper zebra sculpture piece of this weather vane is fabricated in swell bodied style. The glass eyes are blue (eye color is a choice you make at the time of your order). Optional palladium leaf gilding was also requested to emphasize the zebra’s stripes. This will make the entire piece quite eye catching as the copper weathers and darkens, to create the zebras overall black. To write this description we had to look up whether a zebra’s stripes are black or white? Spoiler, they are not black.

Inside the horse and capping the end of the arrow tube are ‘Lucky Pennies’ to note important dates for the owner, and the traditional penny from the year of creation. This gives the weather vane an important documentation for future provenance.
