Singapore Bumboats on 12″ x 12″ (30cm x30cm) Squarish Stretched Canvas

Batik with orchids has been a distinctive feature of the Singapore identity, beauty and grace, as

evident in many of Singapore’s national costumes and cultural influences.

Specially designed using batik as its base, orchids and butterflies are both combined into a design

inspired by the traditional techniques of batik, which its designer lovingly calls the “Orchid Spring of

Singapore”. The entire canvas is finished with colour accents that reminds one of colonial heritage

along with straight, neat hemmed edges.

The Singapore bumboats featured in the centre-piece are large boats or sea-going barges which

were used for loading and unloading of goods in the Malay Archipelago. These bumboats were

extensively used for transport purposes along the rivers in the past, such as the Singapore River,

Kallang River and Rochor River. Today, these bumboats are used to ferry tourists and visitors along

the Singapore river as part of city tour experiences.

A perfect souvenir for those who wants to bring home a unique memory of Singapore and the

perfect gift for your loved ones.
