The image shows a weathervane with a rooster on top, mounted on a pole with directional letters positioned below. The rooster is perched on a spherical base above an arrow, while the letters 'S', 'E', 'W', and 'N' are arranged around a central point on the pole beneath decorative scrollwork. The color palette consists of muted brown, green, and metallic hues. The weathervane is centered within the frame, and a smaller inset drawing shows a simplified sketch of the same weathervane design in the bottom left corner of the image.
