This is an actual old tile they used to decorated their walls. If you happen to visit some Indian houses in Penang (Market Street), Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur (Lebuh Ampang Street), you will see this tile on the outside wall. The peacock signifies vibrant colours and happiness to the Indian community. The tiles are embossed which we can actually feel it. It is quite heavy and it was used in the early 19th century. I managed to found only half set. It was bought in Penang.
