Historical Curiosities 

The rooster, dear to Aesculapius (god of medicine), often appeared in contrast to the serpent. The first was emblem of healing, however, the second instead led to death.

Furthermore, for the ancient Greeks it represented the personification of military valor.

Maintenance 

To keep a terracotta figurine in good condition, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using water and harsh detergents, as they can damage the porous surface of the material. If necessary, use a soft-bristled brush to reach difficult areas. Store your figurine away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or structural damage over time
