"The phoenix, a mythological immortal bird that is born and reborn again from its own ashes, is such an ancient idea that the exact origins of the creature are contested by scholars – both Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt vie for the accolade of being its creator. Often depicted as a large bird with flaming gold, orange, and red plumage, the Phoenix is a symbol of rebirth, regeneration, and the ability to recreate oneself after tragedy.
Rising up from the ashes to be born anew, this beautiful model is Just Like Fire, burning up the way. Done on Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig’s Arabian Stallion, mold #664, this vibrant model sports a stunning pearlescent, flame-inspired gradient decorator with a golden phoenix pinto pattern and glittering eyes – the perfect reminder that, even against all odds, you can come back to life." www.breyerhorses.com.
Side note: Not sure if this model has a high gloss finish or more of a semi-gloss finish.
