Is there a hint in the Simarillon book, or why did you use a peacock-pattern?

To quote the artist:
Tolkien did not mention any details on the plumes of the helmets of the Noldor, except that those of the House of Fëanor were red. That they should be peacocks is unlikely, because peacocks are a tropical bird and Beleriand is anything but. Maybe they belong to an extinct relative of the peacock!

Well, I understand where you're coming from. to me they're just feathers, and I like the combination of classical style with the beauty and delicacy of the peacock feathers
