Local artist Laura Scariano created a limited line of these clay rooster wall masks in honor of the founding of New Orleans. Je m’appelle Ferdinand is a homage to New Orleans’ connection to France.

When the Duke of Orleans became France’s leader, he put the rooster back on flags and uniforms. Available at The Ogden Museum gift shop, Ogdenmuseum.org.
