Sculptures I

Letter sent by Fabienne (France), with some stunning stamps.

Stamp issued on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the discovery by Howard Carter of the tomb of Tutankhamun, the 11th pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (23 June 2023).

L'âge d'airain, by Auguste Rodin. Stamp from 1974.

Stamp Day 1963. Gallo-Roman post.

Issued on 18 February 1961, this stamp depicts La Méditerranée (1905), a 1,03 m bronze located in the Carrousel de Tuileries garden in Paris, made by Aristide Maillol.

The stamp depicts a head of Buddha and a head of Hermes by Praxiteles, symbolizing East and West respectively. It was issued in 1961.

This stamp (a series, actually) relates to a postcard I have recently got through the Postcrossing site, featuring another imposing sculpture: The Great Buddha in Hong Kong.
