This papercraft is Phoenix Cloth (Phoenix Ikki"s Armor), one of the Bronze Cloths, from the anime Saint Seiya series, the paper model created by Luisifer Chavez-Calderon. The Phoenix Cloth has evolved three times in the manga and the anime. It was originally decides that Shun would go to Death Queen Island to obtain this Cloth, but Ikki went in Shun"s place to protect his brother. Ikki kills his master, the owner of the cloth, for Esmeralda"s death and thus gains the Phoenix Cloth. It has also been mentioned that ikki is the first person since the mythological era able to actually wear the cloth.
The Phoenix Cloth is based on the constellation of the same name. In Greek and Egyptian mythology, the phoenix was a legendary bird that was particularly noted for being immortal; when about to die, the creature would immolate itself, and then be reborn as a chick from its own ashes. Accounts vary on the appearance of the phoenix, but it has been stated to be either a fiery red or purple color; the purple hue desginates the phoenix as a symbol of royalty, in addition to being an emblem of resurrection, the sun and eternal life.
In Christianity, the phoenix also serves as a symbol of Jesus Christ. In demonology, it is also the name of a demon of Hell, who appears as his namesake with a sweet, seductive voice; if handled correctly, the demon Phoenix is able to aid his summoner in the fields of poetry and science. This demon is also said to be regretful of his decision to follow Satan, and seeks redemption from God in order to return to Heaven. [Source: wikia]
