 Subject:

Modern painting depicting a woman wearing a traditional farmer's hat called ngop while doing agricultural work and two men doing industrial work. In the background are some geeze in a basket, a tree, some traditional wooden Reuan Thai houses in central Thai style, with hooks on the roofs known as ngao, a cogwheel, a ship's wheel and part of a boat on some waves. In the top left corner is the logo of the 1970 Productivity Year, i.e. a sun-like orange circle, yet with a white curved arrow pointing upward, making it reminiscent of the Thai number 1 ().
