The Story
A full-mount male peacock (Pavo cristatus) in rare colour morph depicted perched in three-quarter profile with an extensive cascade of train feathers. The bird is modelled upon an armature of wired composition, positioned atop a small stand. The head retains naturalistic glass eyes and crested plumage, with the distinctive scale-pattern scapulars leading into a long train of upper-tail covert feathers. These display soft brown, sepia and silvery-white eyes (ocelli). A contemporary farm raised specimen shown atop architectural salvage.
