Hi Jens,
nice to hear from you

I think you're right, birds it is I don't have it in my possession at the moment, I am informed that it appears relatively old, and the casting has been 'knocked around' . The photo does suggest crude casting, but I'm not certain whether it is minor damage or poorly made Are there brass ceremonial weapons in Indo Persian culture?

Have Peacocks a symbollic or cultural meaning ?

Kind Regards David
