The Rooster of Portugal Cutting Board
Anyone who travels to Portugal will notice the Barcelos Rooster. Barcelos is a city and municipality in the Minho province. It's the place where the Portuguese cockerel once was created by an artisan. The colourful rooster is a symbol of Portugal’s popular culture and ancient clay handicrafts. The legend of the rooster inspired an artisan to create a rooster out of clay in Barcelos. The clay figurine was loved by many and spread throughout the country in different sizes and later in other materials like ceramics, woodwork, and metal. The colourful representation of the Barcelos Cockerel was adopted for many years as the symbol of Tourism in Portugal. The most common souvenir you’ll find in shops when travelling to Portugal is the Barcelos Rooster figurine, normally black and painted in bright colours. Traditional decoration has hearts and flowers and dots. It is said that a Barcelos Rooster in our house will attract good fortune and happiness. From kitchenware to tablecloths and keychains, the Portuguese Rooster of Luck can fit in your household perfectly. According to the legend, the pilgrim was innocent of the accusations made against him therefore God provided him with a miracle. The Rooster stands for Faith as the pilgrim had faith in God, so he was saved from death by hanging. It also stands for Justice as we should avoid making snap judgments or accusations without proof. As for LUCK, the rooster brought good luck to Santiago’s pilgrim. You can offer this article decorated with the Portuguese rooster to a friend whom you want to wish good luck or to yourself. Surely there is a place in your home where it will look beautiful. If you came to Portugal and forgot to buy one, this item is for you. The cockerel will remind you of that good trip.

I needed something small to keep on my desk and protect it from spills etc when I put food or beverage such as a hot pot of tea on it. This has been perfect and it's also beautiful. The picture turned out perfect, made this beautiful and personal.

I bought this product as a birthday present to 'mum' from our two boys, which had their picture on it, with a message. Setting it up was easy and straightforward. It could have done with 4 rubber pads on the base, to protect the worktop and for ease of picking it up, but otherwise a great product. I would definitely consider buying another as a gift for someone else. Delivered (overseas) quickly too. The print turned out perfect. It was based on a photo from a studio photo shoot, so the original quality was good in the first place. The picture was positioned exactly as shown when making the order.
