Hello, here are two of the stamps
from the Hong Kong Cantonese Opera Costumes issue I promised to show. Really
stunning I hope you will agree. Click image to enlarge.
Cantonese
opera costumes come in a wide variety of styles and correspond to the identity
and social status of the different roles performed on the stage. The issue
presents seven distinctive costumes, namely the great Han costume, a gown
with a sloping collar, a dress for young ladies, a military uniform for
soldiers, a python ceremonial robe, a gown with a vertical collar and on the
miniature sheet I showed last night the grand armour. The stamps feature
intricate illustrations of Cantonese opera costumes modeled on real
ones worn in live performances.
Enjoy
your stamps... Michael
