Peruvian Cultures

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 :)

 

Peru Vintage

I have found these by a random street seller in Lima, he had a whole bundle of old postal items so I've chosen two FDCs issued in my birth year 1977 :)

The Orchids Of Peru

Another mini-sheet that I wanted to share is this flowery set from Peru issued in 2010, showing four types of orchids that can be found on this country's soil. I wish to see them 'in person' one day...
