    This carved Indian teak panel from a Ratha Yatra chariot depicts a peacock in a foliate surrounding. The peacock is the national bird of India and is believed to bring luck and prosperity. Called maurya in Hindi, peacocks got their name from the people of the Maurya dynasty (322BC – 184BC) who kept and raised them in royal courts. 

     

    Ratha Yatra chariots are found mostly in Tamil Nadu, South India, and enormous temples on wheels are drawn through the streets by hundreds of people. They are decorated with hundreds of religiously significant images. Originally this piece would have been coated with pitch (a black tar-like substance) of which remnants can still be seen.
