A beautiful example of traditional Chinese architectural art, this Qing dynasty glazed ceramic roof tile features a finely modeled rooster, symbolizing vigilance, prosperity, and protection. Expertly crafted and richly glazed, the figure captures the lively spirit and skilled workmanship characteristic of late imperial roof ornaments.
Originally adorning the roofline of a temple or noble residence, such figures were believed to ward off evil spirits and attract good fortune, their vibrant glazes shining brilliantly in sunlight and rain alike. The piece is now presented on a custom clear acrylic stand, blending ancient artistry with a clean, modern display aesthetic.
