The peacock (zoologically Pavo Cristatus) is held symbol for mythologies, religions and ruling classes since millennia. The peacock's origin lies in India and South-East Asia. It lives in thick underground of the forests. Native people appreciate the peacock as it eats young (poisonous) cobras. Its shrill croaking warns from tigers of which the peacock itself is a victim . The same source states that the peacock reached the Mediterranean already 4000 years ago, by ways of Arab trade routes. The male peacock's spreading tail is in itself a "natural" folding fan. However, no literature exists that would take this behaviour as the origin of the folding fan.
PACOCK AND FAN IN ANCIENT TIMES In India, peacock and fan entered an early symbiosis. Round fixed fans were produced, simple fans with peacock feathers as decoration, or entirely made of the splendid tail feathers. These fans are produced still nowadays, in more or less the same way. Baro/Escoda tell us that a fan is first mentioned in writing in a Sanskrit-text 5000 B.C. A Sanskrit-drama dating from 200 A.C. describes a thunderstorm:
"The peacocks suddenly fly upwards when they hear the noisy clouds; they beat the air as if with fans made of thousand jewels"
