Hanuman


This feather is on its way to India today. 

Hanuman is a Hindu deity. He is depicted holding a mountain because he was sent to fetch healing herbs from that mountain to heal fatally-wounded Lakshmana (Rama's brother). Unable to identify the herbs, he uprooted the whole mountain and brought it back, saving Lakshmana's life. 


Length of peacock body feather: 3"
