SPEED/COW

Another example of the hand-made wooden matchbox.
I am not sure what kind of animal is being portrayed here 
on the SPEED matchbox- arguably a deer or a camel without 
a hump- whatever it may be, it's fast, and the hunter with the 
bow and arrow gives the image a nice mythological quality. 
In contrast is the matchbox image of the mother and calf
with the rising sun behind them, a lovely image of rural India.
