This Listing is for ONE NEW Sheet of 20 x 37¢ Year of the Ram: Chinese Lunar Happy New Year Stamps from 2003.
Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment.
These “Year of the Ram” stamps were issued on January 15, 2003 in Chicago, IL. Artist, Clarence Lee, of Honolulu, created a distinctively modern and Chinese design with a paper-cut two dimensional look. Kenji characters on the left, by the professional calligrapher, Lau Bun, translate "Year of the Ram”; and in the upper right of the stamp, the ram declares "Happy New Year!" in English. The ram is the 8th 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. Charm, creativity and a caring and gentle personality are hallmarks of the ram. People born in the Year of the Ram are said to be
fond of nature, and often happiest in a tranquil and secure environment.
