What is illustrated on this vera scarf?

It is a silk Vera scarf but the illustration puzzles me. And which way does it face? It looks a bit like an atena or signpost against a sunny sky but no matter how I turn it it just does not look right. It is silhouetted against a sunny sky. A signpost? A TV attenna? It is such a small problem but annoying! I hope this works!

A Lion and a man? To me it looks like a sign for a Restaurant.
Like Iron cast on top of the door. How is this called…?? don’t know.

Maybe ‘Hotel Golden Lion’ … LOL or so

The Vera website has been known to reply to Customer Svc inquiries pertaining to their collectible prints @> [URL removed]

They’ve updated their logo with a recent facelift adding the little “bug image” next to their modern logo.

Any Vera scarves without the “little bug” is considered to be vintage and a nice collectible to own.

It looks like a Weathervane of some sort…as best as I can tell. I would have also said a plant hanger but the shape isn’t right…

My first thought was a weathervane with Elmer Fudd and his rifle chasing Wylie Coyote or the Roadrunner. Something like this;

I too thought Weathervane. Maybe decoration for wrought iron fencing or gates.

Looked to me like something they hang in a studio for cameras to hang off or direct. Made sense to me :-) Lights, camera, action!

Sorry for the size. It has been a long time since I last posted a photo here.Too bad you are so hard to find. Whatever it is it is against the sun, so overhead.

I agree with Moms, it is a weather vane.

Maybe we are seeing it from the wrong angle? Turn it so the curlicue is on the bottom.

Then think Klieg light for filming movies or photos on the top of the pole with the movie camera on the bottom of the pole. light. The old fashion accordion style camera with a long tilt handle.

The V are the stand legs, the curlicue- have NO idea.

I vote for a wrought iron weather vane, too.
