Amish star in Pensilvanie metal

Real amish star in pensilvanie metal, measures 58 cm in wingspan. A rose, visible in the last photo is also on sale on the site. The stars are made of recycled roof sheet metal. They may have defects in appearance (small holes, more or less regular and peeling paint, oxidation stains...) that are part of their charm and authenticity. Although the lancaster community is the best known and most publicized, it is not the largest, and the amish community doubles approximately every twenty years in the united states. The stars could also be painted on the facades, embellished with a symbolic representation in the shape of a wheel, and often represented the signature of the one who had made the barn on which they were visible. Stars became very popular especially in pensylvannia after the civil war, their origin dating back to the 18th century. The amish stars, beyond their decorative side are imbued with meanings related to their color.
