ST Dupont Limited Edition Neo Classique Large Phoenix Premium Roller Ball Pen

The phoenix is the second of the most well-known and revered mythical beasts in Chinese cosmology. The phoenix was traditionally associated with the Chinese empress, but was available for use by all women. In the Chinese tradition, the phoenix is an enormous winged bird that dwells immortally in the highest regions of heaven. The phoenix comes to earth to presage great events for human beings.
The S.T. Dupont Phoenix Limited Edition gives this glorious creature new life through a world-wide edition of 888 fontain pens and 888 roller ball pens.
In the more modern interpretations of Chinese symbolism, such as the practice of feng shui, the phoenix can be used as a symbol of one's greatest aspirations: the birth of a child, the accomplishment of a formidable task, the building of a lasting monument, and so forth. The phoenix can thus be depicted in areas of the home where the impetus to create or accumulate the greatest treasures in life occur.Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor.
