The Stamps

This collection also continues our tradition of offering young Manx designers their first opportunity to design stamps. The talented Ana Jaks has incorporated aspects of the Tiger’s mythology:

• 67p - The sign’s celebrated courage;
• £1.71 - The cosmological link to the element of water;
• £2.32 - Tiger’s compatibility with the Horse,
• £3.89 - The auspicious association with plum blossom.

 The inclusion of traditional Chinese pottery forms alongside the customary use of gold metallic ink is apposite for this quintessentially Chinese celebration.

Also available in the collection: 

• Presentation Pack
• Set & Sheet Set (Mint and CTO)
