Male Siamese Fireback. Photographed at Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam on 22 February 2016. Couldn't get any clear views for the camera, but they looked great through bins! We saw a few here, but they never came out onto the track, unlike in Thailand! We eventually all had nice looks at both Germain's Peacock-Pheasant and Orange-necked Partridge in the same general area, but again not for the camera...

An old fireback in Leith Hill Place, LeithHill, Surrey, UK. The back appears to show a stage with its proscenium arch and I presume the figure represents Vulcan, the Greek god of fire

This mantelpiece originally dominated the entrance hall of the residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt II on Fifth Avenue at 57th Street (demolished 1925-27). Working for the architect George B. Post, the artist John La Farge (1835-1910) created a lavish decorative program, to which Saint-Gaudens contributed many of the sculptural elements. Two classical caryatids, Amor (Love) and Pax (Peace), support the expansive entablature with bowed heads and upraised arms. The overmantel mosaic depicts a classically dressed woman holding a garland. The Latin phrase of hospitality flanking her head may be translated as “the house at its threshold gives evidence of the master’s good will. Welcome to the guest who arrives; farewell and helpfulness to him who departs.”

I was really hoping to get a good photo of the Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), inasmuch as it is the national bird of Thailand. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that it inhabited dense forests, making it hard to find and even harder to photograph.
The word 'fireback' refers to an golden-yellow patch on the back which is seen when the male (shown here) does his display by whirring his wings. Perhaps because I'm not a female Fireback, he didn't do it for me.
This bird was photographed in the submontane forest of Khao Yai National Park in January 2012.
