The bowl is engraved with 3 different symbols: the Phoenix, the Dragon, and a Lemniscate that opens onto birds. The Dragon represents a preliminary stage of transformation. By delving into the unconscious, the former consciousness puts itself in a perilous situation, as it seemingly extinguishes itself in order to metamorphose. The Dragon is the Golden symbol of Consciousness...
The Phoenix represents philosophical sulfur. It then represents the principle of fixity that resides in the hearth of our central fire, where it seems to be consumed incessantly, only to be reborn continuously from its ashes. It is the symbol of regeneration that is the alchemical work of the red.
Between these 2 engraved figures, a Lemniscate. It is a form of spiral movement with the incessant passage through the center. Traditionally, as in mathematics, it has been made the symbol of infinity.
