Omas 'The Trip Of The Phoenix From Greece To China' Limited Edition Pen #54/888

Description: About the Omas Phoenix Limited EditionOmas 'The Trip Of The Phoenix From Greece To China' Limited Edition PenThe Omas Phoenix Limited Edition fountain pen was designed around the mythological bird, the Chinese Phoenix. Because the Phoenix flies from Greece to China this fountain pen ties the two civilizations together. The cap is topped with a beautiful green jade. The cap is adorned with the Parthenon and the nib is engraved with the Summer Palace bringing together for the Olympics these two great civilizations. The Phoenix is showcased on the barrel of the pen. “A mythological bird which never dies, the Phoenix flies long distances ahead of us, observing with its sharp eyes the countryside around us and the area ahead.It represents our visual capacity to gather sensory information on the environment around us and on the events which unfurl within it. The Phoenix, with its perfect beauty, produces an amazing exaltation combined with the dream of immortality.”(The Feng Shui Handbook, Feng Shui Master Lam Kam Chuen)Only in the aura of mystery surrounding it is the Chinese Phoenix similar to the mythical Egyptian bird which continually rises from its own ashes. It represents the power and prosperity which were the exclusive attributes of the emperor and empress, the only people allowed to wear the symbol of the Feng.It is portrayed in many ways, often with the forehead of a crane, the beak of a wild bird, the neck of a snake, the shell of a tortoise, the stripes of a dragon and the tail of a fish, held to be the finest attributes of these animals, and is the personification of the primordial forces of the Heavens.In its beak, it carries the sacred texts, on its body are written the Five Cardinal Virtues, its song contains the five notes of the Chinese musical scale and its tail has the five primary colours: blue (the East, spring and wood), red (the South, summer and fire), white (the West, autumn, metal), black (the North, winter and water), and yellow (the Centre, the emperor and earth). The two yang colours, blue and red, are balanced with the yin colours, white and black.The enamel Phoenix, elegant and proud, which dominates the reservoir of the OMAS fountain pen “The Trip of the Phoenix” copies this faithfully.The body of the pen too, which comes in four versions, offers four of these colours. However, the metal for the finishings changes: the yellow enamel is combined with platinum, the red with gold, the blue, silver, and the white, bronze.On the top there is a beautiful jade of an intense green which recalls the green of the plumage.The highly original clip is inspired by movement and harmony.The Phoenix flies from Greece to China, from the Parthenon skilfully reproduced on the cap, to the Summer Palace, symbolically miniaturized on the nib, bringing together for the Olympics two great civilisations whose influence has been fundamental to the development of humanity.Though geographically distant, they have both given the world wisdom, philosophy, art and innovation.This small masterpiece comes in a precious wood case, and its production has been entrusted, as always, to craftsmen and artists with unquestioned experience over many long years.
