| Picture taken @ Pitt Street, Penang |
Bullock Cart Wheel is a steel-rod sculpture erected on the wall facing Pitt Street, in George Town, Penang. Jt is based on a caricature by Reggie Lee for the Marking George Town project.
The Bullock Cart Wheel sculpture provides two different historical insights. The first with regards the stretch of Pitt Street, which was where bullock carts used to be parked as late as the early 20th century. The second, as depicted with the 50% Straits Settlement coin, in an idiom in Penang Hokkien. Bullock Cart Wheel is a description of a stingy person, whose 50% is the size of wheel of a bullock cart.
