Realistically modeled in the form of Peacock with textured feathers, with removable heads. And red stone eyes.

Made of silverplated pewter -or possibly Britannia metal, which is an alloy related to pewter but less soft, and date to the first quarter of the 20th century. During Edwardian times these were very much in vogue as table ornaments and pheasants and peacocks seemed to be the most popular of all, judging by their dominance in numbers compared to other birds, and produced by quite a few makers, particularly Weidlich Silver and FB Rogers who seemed to specialize in them.
