Item Description

Detailed Description
This item consists of ONLY ONE
of the four perforated blocks as shown in the picture, not
all four blocks. I will send out any one block based on availability. If
you want to specify any particular block, please check with me before you
bid the item or place the order.

Around the world, a new year is welcomed with noise! Chinese drums, with
drumsticks painted red for luck, highlight the U.S. Postal Service's
2014 YEAR OF THE HORSE stamp, seventh in the _Celebrating Lunar New Year_ series. The Year of the Horse begins on January 31, 2014, and ends on February 18, 2015.

Across
many cultures, in the United States as elsewhere, the Lunar New Year is
celebrated in various ways, often with parades and parties.
Firecrackers are traditionally used to scare off evil spirits and
welcome this time of renewed hope for the future. Lucky foods are
eaten?kumquats, for example (issued in 2011) — and given as gifts.
Festive lanterns, colored red for luck (issued in 2008), are common
decorations at Lunar New Year celebrations, where they are frequently
hung in rows.

Combining original artwork by Kam Mak with two
elements from the previous series of Lunar New Year stamps — Clarence
Lee's intricate paper-cut design of a horse and the Chinese character
for “Horse,” drawn in grass-style calligraphy by Lau Bun — art director
Ethel Kessler has created a culturally rich stamp design that celebrates
the diversity of the American experience.
