Legend has it that hanging a Bird of Happiness in one's home will bring good health and fortune to all who live under its warm embrace. Artist Nadezhda Sokolova, also known as Nadya Sokolova, has taken inspiration from this classic tale of Russian folklore with this Firebird design. Using her unique style of batik painting on silk, Sokolova captures the warmth and optimism of these "wood chip birds."Similar to the Slavic story of the Firebird, the Bird of Happiness, or Pomor dove, represents the sun and is a symbol of family happiness. With this bright and lively image, it is our hope that this flaming red bird of lore will bring joy and good luck to your own life.
