roosterpatronen

Roosterpatronen (Dutch for "rooster patterns") is a term used to describe decorative motifs featuring roosters, in Dutch and international contexts. It refers to any design element where a rooster silhouette or image is a central feature.

Roosters are common in European folk art, and rooster imagery appears in Dutch and Flemish textiles, ceramics, and pottery. Patterns and borders featuring roosters have appeared in various forms for centuries, reflecting agricultural life and rural traditions.

The term is widely applied to fabrics, wallpapers, and tiles that incorporate rooster motifs. In merchandising and branding, rooster patterns may be used to evoke rustic or agricultural associations, particularly in products related to food, farming, or countryside imagery.

In many cultures the rooster is linked to dawn, vigilance, and good fortune. In the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster is one of the twelve animals and is associated with traits such as confidence and honesty. The symbolic meanings of rooster patterns can vary by region and context.
