Where the wind will blow (25 photos)
This meteorological instrument, whose task is to measure the direction and strength of the wind, has long been used as a decorative element of buildings and structures.
It is believed that the device, whose name translated from Dutch (vleugel) means “wing,” was invented in Athens more than 2 thousand years ago. He portrayed the ancient Greek god Triton - the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, the messenger of the depths.
Different peoples had weathervanes depicting different symbols - gods, mythical animals, fairy-tale creatures. Gradually they took their place in heraldry.
In Rus', weather vanes appeared in the 13th century and initially had the appearance of a flag. But gradually the list of forms expanded. And nowadays they have become real works of art and amaze the imagination in many forms, from classical to fantasy.
