About This Design

Portuguese Rooster Gift Box

Portuguese Rooster Gift Box

The Portuguese Rooster of Luck or Portuguese Barcelos Rooster is one of the most popular Portuguese symbols. Abroad it’s known as The Portuguese Rooster or Cockerel. You can find this rooster in every corner of Portugal, it's a popular souvenir. These rooster decorated with small hearts and flowers makes a perfect gift for those born in Portugal or those fond of this country. It evokes the mystique of Faith, Good Luck, and Justice. The legend of the Barcelos Rooster tells a story about a pilgrim traveling to Santiago of Compostela who was accused of stealing silver from a landowner. He was a stranger in the region of Barcelos and no one believed this Christian devotee was fulfilling a promise. He was quickly found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Allowed to plead his innocence to the judge he was taken to his house when the magistrate was about to tuck into a roasted cockerel. The pilgrim vowed that as proof of his innocence, the cockerel would stand up on his plate and crow. The judge and friends laughed hard. As the pilgrim was about to be hung, the cockerel miraculously stood up and crowed. The judge hurried to the gallows in the square to free the innocent man. The rope was around his neck, but the loosened knot protected the pilgrim from being strangled. He immediately continued his pilgrimage. The pilgrim was innocent and therefore God provided him with a miracle. The Rooster stands for Faith as the pilgrim had faith in God, so he was saved. It also stands for Justice as we should avoid making snap judgments or accusations without proof. As for LUCK, the Good Luck Rooster or Lucky Rooster are popular names for Barcelos Rooster. The rooster brought good luck to the pilgrim and one likes to believe he also brings a little good luck to us!

Large 7.125" Square w/6" Tile Gift Box, Golden Oak
The wood is very smooth and feels as sleek as the tile itself. It opens and closes well. The hinges are tight, and do not wiggle the lid around. The tile is squarely set into the lid, and seems very secure as well. I plan to give this to the seller of this property at closing. He worked there all of his life, and his father before him, as well. A one-of-a-kind keepsake box where will be able to store his mementos. He is going to love it. The printing is very good. It's actually a Google street photo, and considering the source, it looks better than I thought it would. The focal point of the photo is nicely centered, and the colors are true.

This is a terrific product. I first purchased one for myself after my beloved dog died. Since then I've not only made up another for another one of my dogs who passed, now I make them up when good friends' dogs pass away. An artist friend uses photos of the pets and makes some pretty artwork that I upload to Zazzle and they are always fabulous. And you can't beat the price. These come out so pretty and the recipients are always so grateful. Here is another I had made up, and also one with the dog's collar in it.

I was thrilled with the excellent quality and size of this hinged keepsake prayer jewelry box. The black high gloss lacquer finish and sunset picture compliment each other beautifully. The felt lined interior is perfect for delicate items. Compared to other similar boxes, this one is exceptional. Will order from RCM Marketing Design on Zazzle again! Printing quality was excellent as well as the color.
