The main character of this piece is a colourful and assertive peacock which stands proud by the river, showing its beauty. Above it, we discover Apricot blossoms branches, while on the other side we can see a wooden fence with orange and purple peonies.
To the Buddhists, Peacocks symbolise wisdom, and Buddhism carried its symbolism towards the east, to Japan. In Japan the Peacock is associated with the deity called Kannon. It is a symbol of Compassion and Kind-heartedness, and it is believed to have the power to counteract poison, invoke rain end ensure good health. Nowadays the Peacock symbolises Integrity, Nurturing and Kindness. The Apricot blossoms symbolise New Beginnings, Renewal and Beauty. The colourful Peonies represent Prosperity, Good Luck and Honour.
