56" Magpies and Blossoms

This hand-painted 56" tall Chinese scroll painting may just be the artistic creation your wall or room has been needing. It features a lovely scene of black magpies and pink cherry blossoms. The magpies, which are part of the crow family, have played a role in Chinese myth for over a thousand years. The magpie is universally recognized as one of the smartest birds and is said to be a bringer of joy in Chinese lore. Another Chinese legend has it that if a magpie is heard while thinking of a plan, that plan can be deemed the correct one to take. And finally, it is considered a lucky sign if a magpie builds its nest near ones home. The other component of this scroll is the succulent cherry blossom flower. Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan and celebrated all throughout Asia. The cherry blossom, also know as the sakura - when it blossoms - was brought to the United States in 1912. It was a gift from the people of Japan. The combination of magpies and blossoms makes this scroll not only an omen of good luck, but also a beautiful work of art. The black-painted roll bars at the bottom of the scroll add to its authentic appeal. Please note that this is a one-of-a-kind scroll and we only have one in stock.
