SIDDHARTA - The Buddhist Collection - DRAGON AND PHOENIX The Dragon is the Chinese symbol for the elemental powers of Nature. He is simultaneously the winds, the tides, earthquakes, storms, as well as the pristine calm that follows the storm. The Phoenix is the symbol of rebirth and eternal life. The Phoenix is the mythical bird that is burned to death, but arises anew out of the ashes of his own funeral pyre. The Phoenix symbolizes rebirth and eternal life, as well as, recovery from tragedy. Together, the Dragon and the Phoenix are a celebratory symbol of the connection between our lives and the dynamic, churning forces of both the Earth and the Cosmos; forces that shape our lives at the most basic level. Although this design is Chinese, both the Dragon and the Phoenix are known throughout the Old World. Pendants come on Legend Cards with a 33 inch long black cord. Fine Lead Free Pewter. Packaged on Recycled paper cards.
