Description: In Luggnagg there is a small population of immortal people. These people are born with a red spot on their forehead, and this spot changes colour over time. This spot is represented by the peacock because of its colours. There is a “L” on the peacock’s chest because this image appears at the beginning of chapter ten and the “L” is the first letter of the chapter. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
