For today's #156 Sunday Stamps theme folk art I am showing a set of two stamps from Peru, issued in 2010, representing ceramics and textile of two (of the many) pre-Columbian cultures Chincha and Chancay (11-14th centuries). The richness of cultures that preceeded the most famous Incas is just staggering...and their art seemingly simple but really very imaginative, which I was only too happy to discover in some of the museums.

My other post (one down) can also fit into this theme, i think :)

Interesting stamps and a nice touch that the map is also present. This week's theme has uncovered some treasures!

ReplyDeletePeru... I don't think I have any stamps from Peru. How great to see pottery. thank you for participating!
ReplyDeleteSure, so good to see the folk art and the place they're connected to. I don't see Peruvian stamps that often. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect, I think! I was looking for pottery and ceramics but couldn't find any.
ReplyDeleteI like that they are exhibited with the maps,just like going to a museum.
