An old clay toy, of a cute rooster.
Dont belittle the rooster, it was the earliest form of time keeping, announcing to the world the start of a new day. With its ability to bring the sun out and to make the night retreat (a bit of a reverse logic), the Chinese thus believe that the rooster is able to keep the devil away.
