Is that bird a turkey, a peacock or even a dove? I would incline toward the peacock, taking into account the lush vegetation surounding its fan like tail within the panel field and the associations between the peacock and the Garden of Eden motifs in Romanian decorative arts).

I endeavor through this series of daily articles to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural history and heritage.

If you plan acquiring a historic property in Romania or start a renovation project, I would be delighted to advice you in sourcing the property, specialist research, planning permissions, restoration project management, etc. To discuss your particular plan please see my contact details in the Contact page of this weblog.
Valentin wouldn’t be too hasty in stating that it is a peacock. There is a wonderful frieze of a turkey in a market in Los Angeles – but I cant find my image so cant compare it to your bird!
