Peacock feathers are among nature's most iconic displays of iridescent beauty, featuring the famous eyespot—a structure composed of layers of keratin that refract light to produce brilliant blues, greens, and golds. These feathers have symbolized vanity, pride, and royal magnificence across cultures for millennia, from Hindu and Islamic traditions to European heraldry.
