Description
I was looking for this model on the internet for a while until I stumbled upon it on Thingiverse, by stronghero3D, from what I can tell is that this is a scan of a sculpture with the front edited, since the Fenghuang is the Chinese phoenix it also has a neck of a snake, yes really (Of course most modern depictions don't have this feature). It was pretty annoying to find so I hope people don't mind if I share it here, also I rescaled the model to 140mm it was since it was originally tiny.
Typically speaking the Fenghuang is paired with a Dragon as a feminine and masculine entity respectively, symbolising everlasting love. And of course it is most famously butchered in Disney's orientalist live action Mulan by conflating the Greek resurrection myth with its Chinese counterpart.
Model is 240mm x 112mm x 112mm.

There are some overhangs so some support may be needed, the snake area sticks out as well so it may be wise to put some supports in case it curls.
