Phoenix with korus
Rebirth
added on December, 17th 2008
The phoenix was originally a symbol of eternity, but it gets more and more often associated to a renewal following a traumatic event, according to the legend saying that the phoenix is born again from the ashes of its own fire. In this case, the wings made of korus, or unfolding fern fronds symbolizing a new beginning and life´s continuity as well, enforce both of these meanings.
The tails recall fish hooks, or hei matau, which symbolize for Maori people abundance and wealth.
