Lammergeier, Gouache, 52cm x 40cm, RM2000
Description:
Lammergeiers (Lamb eater), Trencalòs (Bone breaker), also known as the bearded vulture are an avian species of old world vulture that primarily consumes bones as their main diet from carcasses of preys. They are evolved in harsh environments to feast almost entirely on bones. The red plumage are from the iron-rich dirt that they rub on themselves. The lammergeiers are symbol of good fortune and sacred birds to Tibet as they are the main birds in the sky burial (天葬). Some Tibetans believe that they are the protector of the country and angels (Dakinis). They are also related to the iranian mythology 'Birds of fortune' (Homa). The bearded vulture represents resilience and is adaptive to harsh conditions; similar to a Pheonix when they reborn.
