Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee will soon be adorning walls of homes in the country and outside, thanks to the coir of 'God's Own Country' Kerala.
The state-run Kerala State Coir Corporation Ltd (KSCC) has designed a new wall-hanging made in coir with the face of Bruce Lee, the martial arts master known for his lightning quick kicks.
The Bruce Lee wall-hanging, created by an in-house designer of the Alappuzha-based Corporation, is an attraction in the international pavilion of the ongoing 'Coir Kerala 2016', which will conclude here tomorrow, a release said.

"We are targeting both the domestic and international market for the wall-hanging with the face of the Kung Fu master," KSCC Chairman Rajendra Prasad said here.
"It is expected to be popular in China as well as the United States, where the Chinese-born actor lived," said KSCC Managing Director G N Nair.
The wall-hanging has a coir base, on which the water colour painting was done after a bleaching process.
A spray gun painting on a stencil plate was used to create the portrait of Bruce Lee, said designer Rajeevan P R, a KSCC employee in Alappuzha.
KSCC's wall-hanging based on the famous Mona Lisa painting had been a huge attraction at last year's 'Coir Kerala', along with a portrait of musician Bob Marley.
Another KSCC wall-hanging which is drawing visitors this year is one with a portrait and message of former President A P J Abdul Kalam, also designed in-house by the Corporation.
The wall-hangings based on portraits of famous personalities is produced under the Corporation's Coircraft brand.
