Peacock Fan Feather Mandala
The peacock stands at the center with its magnificent display opened behind its body. Layers of tail feathers form a broad, shield-like fan filled with eye-shaped markings and repeating arrangements. Dense leafy branches and other botanical forms occupy the corners, linking the bird's natural display with the balanced structure of a mandala.
Facts About a Peacock's Display
The bird commonly called a peacock is the male peafowl; the female is called a peahen. A male raises and vibrates his long display feathers during courtship, producing both a striking visual effect and a faint rustling sound. The famous eye patterns are found on elongated upper-tail coverts rather than on the short tail feathers beneath them.
