Description
Sometimes Nepalese woodcarvers are almost supernatural. The Peacock Window, which is also called the "Mona Lisa of Nepal", is a rare masterpiece in wood. Dating back to the early 15th century, the latticed window has an intricately carved peacock in its center. The window adorns the 15th century Pujari Math(monastary) in Bhaktapur.
