Featuring the mystical, symbolic phoenix surrounded by chrysanthemums and butterflies on a luscious green background, this is an intricate pattern with wonderful detail well suited for full maximalist coverage and for feature walls.
'The phoenix is the ‘king of birds’ and symbolises good fortune and opportunity as it appears only in times of peace and prosperity. In Chinese mythology, the phoenix is a benevolent bird since it does not harm insects, and each of its body parts represents one of the virtues – benevolence (ren 仁 ), righteousness (yi 義), propriety (li 礼), knowledge (zhi 智) and sincerity (xin 信).'
