Large ceramic rooster

The rooster is one of the most striking emblems of Portugal, where it is found in many representations. The popularity of this charming bird is linked to the legend of the rooster of Barcelos, a popular story in which the rooster is a symbol of luck and justice. It is said to bring good luck and it is good to have one in your home.

This large ceramic rooster is made and hand painted near Coimbra (central Portugal). It has a very delicate and colorful floral pattern, inspired by the traditional 17th century Coimbra ceramics.
