Pakistan is famous for emblazoning trucks and vehicles with fantastically ornate folk art from flowers and symbols to elaborate fantasy landscapes. Today, these artists have transferred their talents from trucks to trade, making pieces for homes and interiors. Thick-lashed eyes, fuchsia polka dots, and luminous peacock plumage, rendered in violet, indigo, cobalt, and vermilion, capture the imaginative spirit of this rich folkloric culture. These hand-painted pieces create excellent gifts, and brighten any interior with the vibrant colors and imagery of the East. Large box also available.
