Peacock (China)
In China the peacock is very auspicious creature, said to be a manifestation of the Phoenix on earth, it is a symbol of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and represents rank, and power. It is also linked to the goddess Guan yin, the tail of a hundred eyes is said to represent some images of her that have a hundred eyes to watch all of humanity and grant mercy where it is needed.
Yellow Breasted Bunting
A colorful songbird that once spread throughout Asia, Russia and Eastern Scandinavia, this migratory bird has sadly declined in population due to habitat destruction and it’s status as a delicacy in China and South East Asia. The population has declined by 80% in the last ten years leading them to be listed as a red endangered species.
Famille Verte is a style of Chinese porcelain decoration that uses a palette of greens.
