Goat and cockerel sacrifices are made from time to time by devotees whose vows were fulfilled ranging from education, health, matrimony, business, childless couples and many other matters.
A cockerel seeking food finds instead a precious gemstone, recognises the worth it has for others, but rejects it as being of no practical use to himself.
Although partly functional, weather vanes are generally decorative, often featuring the traditional cockerel design with letters indicating the points of the compass.
