Part 2 of KarmaGotMe's Op Shop Finds!
This little darling I saw in one of my local small town op shops yesterday. I had a handful of little things in my hands already and ummed and ahed so much about him that I actually left him behind. I regretted it so much that my partner's mum went down and got him for me today, for a whopping $2! Thanks Ma!
From my brief googling he is a Portuguese Good Luck Rooster and they can go from around $20-$40 generally (not that I'd sell him!). He does have some writing on the bottom but I can only work our "14 Hand Painted"
The Portuguese Good Luck Rooster is tied to a tradition that sprung from a 12th century legend, the Galo de Barcelos. It's a fascinating tale and there are so many wonderful roosters out in the world that I highly encourage you to check them out :)
