Characters carved in lyrical script on this wood tablet literally translate to House, Phoenix and Mystical Bird. Bestowed to an individual respected in a community, these words together would symbolically honor the person as well developed, moral, and ethical. If the tablet were given to a couple, it would have honored their harmonious relationship. A 19th-century sign of honor, such as this one, would have been prominently displayed in a residence, office, or creative studio.
