The Barcelos' Cock is a traditional portuguese piece of handicraft, with it's origins in the portugues town of Barcelos, hence the name.

The legend says:
"A rich man made a big party. When the party was over, the rich man noticed that his sterling cutlery was stolen by a guest. He accused a pilgrim and let him go to court. He protested his innocence, but the judge didn't believe him. The judge was about to eat a roasted cock and the pilgrim said: If I am innocent, this cock will crow three times. When the pilgrim was about to be hanged the cock crowed. The judge release the pilgrim."
