About This Design

Typical Rooster of Barcelos pillow

The legend: Portugal - Barcelos - The town's famous symbol is a rooster, in Portuguese called "O Galo de Barcelos" ("the Rooster of Barcelos"). One of the many versions of this legend goes that a rich man threw a big party. When the party was over, the rich man noticed that his sterling cutlery was stolen by a guest. He accused a pilgrim and let him go to court. He protested his innocence, but the judge didn't believe him. The judge was about to eat a roasted rooster when the pilgrim said: "If I am innocent, this rooster will crow three times." When the pilgrim was about to be lynched, the rooster crowed. The judge released the pilgrim. The story ends a few years later when the pilgrim returned and made a statue over the event. - - #RoosterOfBarcelos #GaloDeBarcelos #LuckyCharm #GoodLuck #Portugal

Would be better if you could select several photos at once from your own saved photos to save them on to the website rather than one at a time. Great quality in fact ordered 2 more of a different photo layout design for Christmas presents. Photos and photos of drawings my young nieces did on this cushion turned out perfect or I should say ‘purrrrrfect’ as they were all photos of their cats

Well made, exceeded expectations in that respect. Printed on a polyester base, which I thought might not look as good as cotton, but it doesn’t have a synthetic feel about it at all. Came out better than expected, exactly as the image I’d selected, which was a stock image, not one I’d uploaded myself. Very satisfied with colours, brightness, clarity.
