PianOrchestra Peacock "Wonderlight"

A tapered glass cylinder (with an electric lamp inside) and with metal fittings at each end extends from the rear of the cast metal peacock's body, and goes through to the backside of the mirrored tail, where it is mechanically supported. Behind the peacock assembly there is a round leather belt and pulley system that causes the Peacock's lighted tail to rotate whenever the instrument is in operation, producing a colorful effect on the semi-circle of carefully fitted mirrors.
