Specification
- The Motif
- A Royal Peacock (Mor) acting as the stud, holding a framed Lotus Painting below it.
- The Technique
- Traditional Meenakari. The rectangular panel features a hand-painted pink lotus on a midnight-black enamel background, fired in a kiln for permanence.
- The Sculpture
- The bird is cast in solid brass with a matte gold finish, featuring a "crest" of red beads.
- The Movement
- The piece is articulated in two places the neck of the bird and the base of the frame allowing the gold leaves at the bottom to sway with your movement.
- Material
- Solid Brass Alloy (Substantial and durable).
- Plating
- Antique 22k Gold finish (Not shiny, but a warm, vintage glow).
- Accents
- Deep red faceted beads (resembling rubies) add a pop of contrast.
- Dimensions
- Length: Approx 2.5" (Statement length, but narrow profile).
- Weight
- 0.6 oz per pair (Medium weight).
Moisture: Brass tarnishes with moisture. Keep absolutely dry.
Impact: The Meenakari panel is glass-powder fused to metal. Dropping it on a tile floor can crack the painting.
Storage: Hang them up or store flat in the Gullye dust bag to prevent the dangling leaves from scratching the enamel.

The story
In Indian miniature painting, the Peacock is the messenger of romance, and the Lotus is the symbol of the divine. Master Artisan Ratan combines them here in a single vertical drop.
The challenge of this piece is the "Canvas." The rectangular panel is barely the size of a stamp. Ratan must use a single-hair brush to paint the pink petals of the lotus against the black enamel background.
One tremor of the hand, and the pink bleeds into the black. Once painted, it is fired in a kiln at 800°C. The result is a painting that will never fade. The bird at the top is the guardian; the painting below is the treasure.
