Figural rooster (cockerel) watering can
Object/Artifact
Stylized standing rooster modeled in yellow plastic on a flared pedestal foot, functioning as a watering can. The upright neck rises to a head with a round inset eye, an applied red comb, an open red beak (the pour spout), and a red wattle. An integrally molded loop handle arches from the back of the neck down to the upper back. The hollow body swells at the breast — with a shallow molded oval panel on the side suggesting a folded wing — and tapers to the footed base. Embossed "Made in GDR" low on the body.
