Picture "Persian peacock" (2020)
Although the physiognomy data of bird heads are not at all the same as those of humans, we still try to read their animal faces to learn more about their character and life story. In the animal kingdom, the peacock occupies a special position. Myths and legends of different cultures and epochs entwine around it. For Persian poets, the peacock symbolizes beauty and pride, but also their imperfection, as shown in the unsightly feet, the shrill bird call and the only limited ability of the beautiful animal to fly. In the 13th century, the poet Saadi, in his work Golestan ("Rose Garden"), considered only the peacock feather worthy of being a bookmark in the Koran.
