This piece is known as “the Peacock” and has a very 70's feeling to it and it depicts an abstract bird in the shape of a Peacock, in really nice color, warm grey with hints of blue combined with warm nearly vibrant blue, with Lazur details. At the back there is an imbedded metal wire to be able to safely hang it on the wall. Yet if one so wishes it can also be used as a large plate.

It is 3cm (1.18") high and 31cm (12.20") in diameter, it has some micro nicks at the base, underneath the plate, not visible one hanging on the wall or if used as a plate and overall is it in a fantastic condition.
