Item Description
Detailed DescriptionIt is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp, please check with me before you bid or place the order.
As part of china’s history and culture, the twelve chinese zodiac animals signify wishes and carry special meanings, and are frequently depicted in handicrafts. To usher in the year of the monkey in 2016, hongkong post presents a special set of four stamps, the fifth set in the fourth lunar new year special stamp issue series, to highlight the theme of new year celebration through monkey motifs on different artworks.
$1.70 - Enjoying a long history, Chinese liuli (coloured glass) is synthetic crystal created through pâte de verre, the process of lost-wax casting. The stamp shows a liuli artwork featuring a monkey embracing a full round pinkish-white peach on the background of a gold filigree peach formed by calamondin motifs. Calamondin, a symbol of good fortune, is a common festive plant for Lunar New Year in Hong Kong.
$2.90 – Originated in China, the use of silk has given birth to silk fabrics and brought about a boom in silk embroidery. The stamp depicts an elaborately embroidered, lifelike monkey on a background of gold ornamental openwork embellished with pomegranate motifs, denoting prosperity and great fortune.
$3.70 – Capturing the hearts of the Chinese for centuries, silverware appears in a variety of elegant shapes of exquisite craftsmanship. The stamp depicts a lifelike silver monkey that looks lovely and clever. The gold filigree peach in the background is adorned with fingered citron motifs. The “fingered citron”, by way of being a homonym for “good fortune” in Chinese, suggests luck and blessing.
$5 – Paper-cutting, with its emphasis on likeness, is a folk art which fuses tradition with creativity. By applying colours to a finished paper cut-out, one can combine the techniques of paper-cutting and painting to give the product a unique and realistic style. The stamp shows a cut-out of the painted face of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, as a mask in Beijing Opera. The richly coloured mask exhibits exceptionally fine paper-cutting skill. The gold peach filigree in the background is formed by bunches of grapes to symbolise fertility and happiness.
