It comes from ancient Egypt — the \u003cem\u003ebennu\u003c\/em\u003e — and from Greece, which made it the bird that rises from its ashes. The North, for its part, has its own birds: the ravens \u003cstrong\u003eHuginn and Muninn\u003c\/strong\u003e, who report the world to Odin, and the nameless eagle perched at the top of Yggdrasil, in perpetual strife with the dragon Níðhöggr through the mediation of the squirrel Ratatosk.

Herodotus, in the 5th century BC, reports what the Egyptian priests told him about it — a bird that returns every five hundred years to carry the remains of its father — while honestly specifying that he only half believes it. It was the Greeks who turned it into the \u003cem\u003ephoinix\u003c\/em\u003e rising from its ashes, and the Romans who drew from it a symbol of eternity, even stamping it on their imperial coins. None of these traditions are Nordic — but they all say the same thing: what burns can begin again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe detail of the craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately 4 cm high.
