Item Description
Acrylic, 16x16 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
In many parts of the world, roosters symbolize a host of qualities. For example, the rooster is one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac and is a symbol of honesty as well as physical and moral fortitude. It bodes fortune, fidelity and protection. Roosters are also used as a symbol in Christian tradition, for some representing a call to repentance, for others symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and the triumph of life over death.
The attributes and meaning ascribed to this bird in various countries, regions and religions vary. Throughout all the cultures, however, the most predominant attribute is that they bring luck. In Honduras, colorful clay roosters are ubiquitous souvenirs.
Artist's Note:
There is no more fun image than that of a series of roosters, all lined up, in the brightest colors possible and with their surprise-filled expressions!
Item Special Note
Hearts & Homes for Refugees' Note:
Maria*, from Honduras, was thrilled when her three adult children were granted asylum and reunified with her, but they arrived with little and Maria needed help. Hearts & Homes for Refugees matched the family with a volunteer team that provided bedding and clothing for the three siblings, as well as assistance accessing appropriate health services for the brother with a hearing impairment and learning disabilities.
*Name has been changed to protect the family's privacy.
