The image showcases an exquisite example of decorative metalwork in Art Deco or Art Nouveau style. This is a fragment of luxurious wrought ironwork, likely part of a historic fence, gate, or door panel. The central element of the composition is a stylized peacock rendered in golden metal, presumably brass or bronze with gilding.
The peacock is depicted with its characteristic fan-shaped tail, which is harmoniously integrated into the overall floral ornament of the grille. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed feather work — each feather is clearly articulated, creating an effect of textural depth. The peacock's body is covered with a decorative scale-like pattern, adding further sophistication.
The floral pattern surrounding the peacock comprises an intricate system of elegant curled spirals and leaves, executed in the same golden palette. The flowing lines create a sense of movement and lightness despite the material used. On the left side of the composition, there is a geometric element — a square with a decorative monogram or ornament, likely marking the authorship or ownership of the piece.
The contrast between the rich golden metal and the dark background enhances the visual impact of the details and highlights the metalworker's skill. This fragment demonstrates the highest level of decorative applied art and is undoubtedly a significant element of the architectural ensemble of the building for which it was created.
