This Indian soapstone turban hanger (called a khunti in Hindi) has been carved in the shape of a peacock. Originating in Dungapur in the Banswara tribal area of Rajasthan, this would have been used daily for turbans or a clothes peg They are often seen in palaces & houses of the wealthier classes, normally plastered into the wall, other animals like horses and parrots are quite common too. 

A unique and quirky piece of social history, a decorative conversation piece.
