The KISAN (farmer) with his bullocks is a very popular
matchbox image and is still a common sight
all over India. Even on a busy highway, one can see
these often colourfully decorated and painted oxen
pulling the bullock-cart, a symbol of the old way of life.
The camel/fish combination is a good example of the
apparently random imagery one comes across in
Indian matchbox art.
