photo of the wood sewing box on display at museum: peacock sculpture (with tail fully spread open, finely detailed) on top of shaped stand

photo of the gallery label “SEWING BOX IN THE FORM OF A PEACOCK Mahogany, coniferous wood (pine?), oak; birch, boxwood, ebonized wood; inlay of sycamore, green stained holly, mahogany; bone, silver-gilt, blued steel, brass German (probably Berlin), ca. 1830 At first glance this work looks like a carved mahogany sculpture of a nearly life-size peacock. Lowering the bird's head reveals a surprise: hidden drawers filled with sewing tools! The plumed tail hides a pin cushion; the shaped stand is a cabinet with drawers for sewing supplies. The high-quality workmanship and materials combined with inventive design indicates that the box was made in one of the leading cabinetmaking workshops of early nineteenth-century Berlin.

“The name of this bowed instrument means #peacock , the bird associated with Saraswati, the goddess of music. Popular at 19th century courts, it derives its form from the dilruba, an instrument combining features of other Indian stringed instruments like the sarangi and the sitar.”

I came home from work the other day to find this beautiful white peacock strolling down our street on the road! I quickly parked the car and went to grab the camera and captured a few shots before he disappeared into someone's backyard. It is extremely unusual to find a wild peacock strolling in a residential area, although our area does have many trees.

Two days later, he returned, strolling from our place to other residential properties. I will look forward to meeting him again!

I do differ in opinion with a comment below that white Peacocks have blue eyes, as this one definitely appears to have red eyes.... so perhaps he is a real albino. By Kaye Menner Photography.

An photograph of mine of a colorful peacock tail feather which I digitally transformed into a 'field of feathers' and added one of my sunset skies and then some painted trees silhouetted in the background. As a final touch, I added an orb or sphere to represent the moon made digitally also from the original peacock feather photograph. It was a bit of fun. By Kaye Menner

This Is My Glasgow @thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot

This beautiful piece of architectural artwork is one of a pair of mosaic peacocks over the entrance to Salmon and Gillespie's 1899 Glasgow Style Savings Bank building on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of the city. I wonder how many people past this building each day and never notice these decorative details?

A mosaic featuring an Art Nouveau style peacock.

The streaming service #Peacock is currently presenting an absolute gem of a series in "Lockerbie : The Search for the Truth" about the horrific downing of a plane and deaths of 269 people over the village of Lockerbie, Scotland in December of 1988.

It's incredibly intense viewing written by playwright David Harrower. Colin Firth stars as the bereaved father seeking justice for lost lives. I remember this tragic incident and recall the geopolitical maneuvering to get justice. I'm only 2 episodes in but will finish it because script-writing this fine is rare in television. Kudos to the producers and production companies for creating intelligent, masterful work.
