"A fifteenth-century carved window on Pujari Math, and the woodcarving museum behind it"

Peacock Window, Bhaktapur Overview

The Peacock Window is a latticed wooden window on the Pujari Math monastery, carved in the fifteenth century with a peacock fanning its tail at the centre, and it is the single most reproduced piece of Newar woodwork in Nepal. It is easy to walk past, set into a side lane off Dattatreya Square. The Woodcarving Museum inside the same building explains what you are looking at.
