The rooster is the tenth in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac signs. It is symbolic of fidelity and punctuality. In ancient times the rooster would awaken people in the morning to begin their workday. It also symbolized casting out the dark or evil night and the beginning of the new “light” day.

I saw this particular rooster in the courtyard of a museum in Cambodia a few years ago when we visited there.
