Artisan: Anjum Rana - "Tribal Truck Arts" 

This fun and whimsical watering can is ideal for urban gardens and features a decorative peacock (“parinda” means bird in Urdu) and flower motif hand-painted in rich and vibrant colours.

Pakistan is famous for emblazoning trucks and vehicles with fantastically ornate folk art that ranges from flowers and symbols to elaborate fantasy landscapes. This Pakistani “truck art” takes functional, everyday objects and transforms them with colour and magical imagery. Today, truck artists have transferred their talents to trade, making pieces for homes and interiors that capture the imaginative spirit of this rich folkloric culture.
