Circus Elephant Weathervane
The Circus Elephant Weathervane captures the strength, intelligence, and unmistakable presence of one of the world’s most remarkable animals. With its powerful body, broad ears, raised trunk, and distinctive stance, the elephant creates a dramatic silhouette with tremendous character on the roofline.
For generations, elephants have fascinated audiences through their immense size, intelligence, social behavior, and almost human expressiveness. Their long association with traveling circuses also made the elephant one of the most recognizable symbols of classic American entertainment, spectacle, and showmanship.
Handcrafted Copper Weathervane
We individually hand sculpt every Circus Elephant Weathervane in copper. We carefully form the elephant’s expressive head, large ears, powerful body, sturdy legs, curved trunk, and distinctive contours to create a three-dimensional figure with depth and sculptural presence.
The broad mass of the elephant makes this an especially effective architectural silhouette. Its strong proportions remain clearly visible from a distance while the carefully formed copper construction gives the piece warmth, dimension, and unmistakable character.
Display the Circus Elephant Weathervane on a home, barn, garden building, entertainment venue, cupola, or other distinctive architectural setting.
Standard assemblies include two spun copper balls, solid brass directional markers, brass retaining rings, and a stainless-steel mast. Standard finishes include faux bronze or verdigris patina. Genuine 23-karat gold leaf is available for an additional charge.
Choosing the Right Size
The proper size depends on the height, roofline, viewing distance, and architectural scale of the building. Visit our Weathervane Sizing Guide for helpful information when selecting the right proportions for your setting.
