On Roman coins, the peacock designates the apotheosis of princesses, just as the eagle does of victors (8). The peacock’s tail, in particular,
appears in the eighty-fourth emblem of the Ars Symbolica of Bosch as a symbol
for the blending together of all colours and for the idea of totality (32). This
explains why, in Christian art, it appears as a symbol of immortality (20) and of
the incorruptible soul (6). The common motif of the two peacocks symmetrically
disposed on either side of the Cosmic Tree or hom—a feature which came to
Islam from Persia and subsequently reached Spain and the West—denotes the
psychic duality of man (related to the myth of the Gemini) drawing its life-force
from the principle of unity (6). In the mystic horology, the peacock corresponds
to dusk (50). In Hindu mythology, the patterns on its wings, resembling innumerable eyes, are taken to represent the starry firmament (50).
