This listing is for ONE NEW Sheet of Year of the Snake: Chinese Lunar New Year Stamps from 2013

Fresh, Mint Condition

The U.S. Postal Service celebrated the Year of the Snake with the issuance of these Forever stamps on January 16, 2013 in San Francisco, CA. Original colorful artwork by Kam Mak was combined with two elements from the previous series of Lunar New Year stamps - artist Clarence Lee's intricate paper-cut snake design and calligrapher Lau Bun's grass-style Kenji character for "snake." The snake is the 6th of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac associated with the Lunar calendar. People of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and Mongolian heritage celebrate the Lunar New Year. People born in the Year of the Snake are said to be deeply philosophical, mysterious individuals who are comfortable being alone.

6th in the Celebrating Lunar New Year series.

Features a bundle of red firecrackers, to scare off evil spirits and welcome renewed hope for the future.

An unusual and artistic gift for people born in the Year of the Snake.

Years of the Snake include 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, and 2025.
