A distinctive feature of Sadequain's artwork in the State Bank of Pakistan is the collection of collages, worked in wood and metal. He did it exclusively for the Bank. This kind of work by him is nowhere else to be seen. On the background of wooden frames, Sadequain worked miracles twisting iron, copper and steel into artist's fertile imagination of figures of hope, aspiration and conquest. There are four of them done in mixed media of wood, copper, iron and steel and one done only in copper on wood.

We are including publications, in Sadequain�s artistic contribution to the State Bank of Pakistan; as a number of publications of the decade of 60s to 70s have been adorned and glamorized by Sadequain�s seemingly effortless efforts. The publications for the grand function of the inauguration of the then new building of the State Bank of Pakistan in Karachi in 1961 were all designed and illustrated by Sadequain. The brochure for the building called the golden brochure because of its gold color was totally designed and their layout, sketches and the magnificent cover in which the whole building has been portrayed or scripted by writing Bank Daulat-e-Pakistan in Urdu over and over again, all done by Sadequain.
