Story
Along the 'khlongs' or canals of Thailand, the rhythm of life has historically been dictated by the water's edge.
Maker / Origin
Punya is a name associated with the mid-to-late 20th-century art movement in Thailand, particularly artists working in the relief-painting tradition of Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
Condition & Value
The painting shows some expected edge wear and minor scuffing to the raised relief lines, which is common for this medium. This is a beautiful example of Thai decorative relief art.
