Peacock and Bird Figures, 8 to 15 inch
About this collection
Peacock and bird figures in this middle-to-large size are chosen for a console table, a living room shelf or a pooja room, where the outline can be seen from across the room. Swans, eagles and ducks sit in this group as well as peacocks, so the shape changes how much room the piece takes. The thing that matters most is the width: a spread-wing or tall-tail design needs more space than its height suggests.
Most pieces are brass, with a few in aluminium, and the metal changes the weight a lot. Dust the fine feathers and beak with a soft brush, wipe the surface with a dry cloth, and lift the piece by the base rather than the wings or tail.

Good to know
Is a bird figure this size too big for a console table?
Measure the console width and the height above it first, since a wide design takes more space. Leave room for a lamp or a diya beside it.
Which metal is heavier, brass or aluminium?
Brass is heavier than aluminium at the same size, so check the weight on each listing. A heavier piece is more stable on a table.
How should the fine feathers be cleaned?
Use a soft brush to reach between the feathers, then wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners that can dull the finish.
