Year of the Monkey - 1992



This is a maximum card from the People's Republic of China for the 1992 Year of the Monkey. The design also features the "auspicious peach' which is a symbol for good luck and longevity. The stamp was designed by the means of Chinese folk paper-cut.




I am participating in Sunday Stamps at Viridian's Postcard Blog

    The mom monkey and baby make a nice design. The USPS stamp for this year has a pretty nice design I think. Thanks for participating!

    I did not know about the peach, but I like how they incorporated the monkey into the fruit.

    Love that paper cut, the spring flower being offered is a nice touch.
