rooster weathervane
Barn roof spinner
A rooster weathervane is a wind direction indicator topped with a rooster figure, mounted on barns, steeples, and rooftops.
The rooster—among the oldest weathervane designs—became associated with churches as a symbol of vigilance and Peter's denial of Christ.
The image has become an icon of rural Americana: The old farmhouse still had its original rooster weathervane.
