Peacock / Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque
The guidebook says peacock is the motif for the design of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque which was built for the use of royal family only. Peacock displays his feathers and prances around as the Shah of Safavid dynasty showed off his power in 17th century.
It is quite interesting to compare this with other design such as Imam Mosque (see previous upload) standing in the same Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, Iran.
