Handcarved Wooden Rooster...The Rooster is popular in home décor—do you know why? Well, the ancient Greeks believed the Rooster guards the farm all night long, giving a joyous cry at dawn. He is a symbol of triumph over the forces of the night—a literal and figurative guard against darkness. That’s why he’s often on the highest peak on a farm (on the weathervane), so he can keep watch. Pretty cool, right? No wonder he’s cocky!
