I am looking for a gift for a friend of the mythical phoenix. It could
be a box, pendant, figurine, etc. Ideally, the phoenix would be one of
the "phoenix rising" with full spread wings.  Would be grateful for
any ideas about where to purchase one online or in New York City.

Hi annalou!

I love the whole idea of the mythological Phoenix rising from the
ashes, so this has been a fun search.

There is so much to choose from out there, and you didn't specify a
price-range, so it was hard to narrow it down. Keep in mind too that
the Phoenix (also known as the Sunbird) is an Asian symbol and an
Egyptian symbol as well as a South American symbol, so the depictions
of it will vary.

See this page for variations:

different price ranges and different products, and then give you my
search terms so you can look further if you like.
