Size:2" Tall | Color:Black Galo de Barcelos is the unofficial symbol of Portugal. In any curio or tourist shop you will find the symbol represented by a ceramic rooster and in the motif embroidered in towels, aprons, stamped on key chains, paper weights, etc. Because of its lively colors, the Rooster of Barcelos is difficult to miss where ever it appears. The motif seems to embody the love of life displayed by the Portuguese people. The symbol has its genesis in the history of Barcelos. The city of Barcelos is located just east of Braga. Even though it is not on a major highway, it still is a good sized city. The legend of the Rooster is so old that no one knows for sure its real source.

Exactly what I wanted
My mother has one she picked up in Portugal & she’s already said it’s going to my sister so I purchased this one because it matched the coloring of the one my mother has. It’s tiny but very cute. I’m happy with the purchase.

Disappointed
I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t read how this was but for $25.00 I expected this to be bigger... it was fast shipping and it’s well made it’s just the size is deceiving in the pictures.
