Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rooster 2017

 

Cock a doodle dooo....
here come the Roosters....

  

 I am not a collector of roosters and don't have many rooster artefacts in my collection to crow about. Still I manage to dig up this ancient clay rooster from a bygone age (Han times likely) to welcome the Year of the Rooster 2017

And from my treasure chest of miscellaneous items I salvaged these 5 antique jade rooster figurines. Each rooster is perforated vertically and must have been carved for making dangles.

I have grouped them together for this  auspicious display to usher in  the New Year.

And just for laughs,  here is an impressionistic look at my rooster display :)

Lastly Mr God of Wealth, Cai Shen Ye  is here to give a tip to lucky punters, who can spot the numbers :)

Can you spot the lucky numbers ?







Happy Lunar New Year of the Rooster!
