Seen at Chauncey Creek, Kittery, Maine - Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was spotted while dining at the Chauncey Creek restaurant in Kittery, Maine. 

Whilst enjoying our lobster dinner on the river front deck of the Chauncey Creek restaurant, Vincent looked up and saw this interesting weather vane above a building next door.  It is located above piles of lobster pots, and was turning in the summer breeze.

This two dimensional figure of a Native hunter has a nice patina, although it is probably not particularly old.  Some of these weathervanes of aboriginal people have become controversial in recent years, and some institutions and residences have removed them.  

See the blog post about the controversial weather vane at Dartmouth College, which has been removed due to it's depiction of a native person with a barrel of rum:   https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/02/weathervane-wednesday-above-university.html
