What does a phoenix mean in Chinese culture?
The phoenix, or feng, is the king of birds and a symbol of grace, harmony and renewal. It is often paired with the dragon to represent balance — a cultural emblem, not a promise.
Why does this piece keep its yellow skin?
The yellow skin is the natural rind of the seed stone. The carver preserved it as proof of the stone's origin and worked it into the design as an accent colour.
