Description
This paper peacock umbrella was found at Chinatown in Los Angeles, California. These hand-painted umbrellas are a work of art. You will find that birds are a common theme in Asian art, particularly the Peacock. This male bird is depicted with his tail spread, and symbolizes wisdom, success and contentment. It is also the symbol of the sun, with the fan tail representing the heavens, and the spots or "eyes" symbolizing the stars.
