In Greek mythology, the phoenix is a long-lived mythical bird with fiery plumage. Near the end of its life, it settles in to its nest of twigs which then burns ferociously, reducing bird and nest to ashes. And from those ashes, a fledgling phoenix rises – renewed and reborn. This Phoenix rising wall art is the perfect piece to inspire you that there is a renewal; that you can go into the darkness and find your way through. This piece measures 16" wide by 14 5/8" tall and is cut from 16 gauge steel, which is nice and rigid without being overly heavy. It has been sanded, giving it a texture that causes the light to shimmer from different angles. It has a clear coat to inhibit rust.
