Extra-large cards, scenic views (set) – cover
Please also see 20307648B, which shows the many different contents of this set: cards, more cards, lists … urban and rural scenes throughout China. This box (measuring 9-3/4″ square, by 1-1/8″ deep) is quite heavy, and each of the many picture cards are just a bit smaller than that. Note how China Post in Guangzhou has done this: the pre-stamped card only takes up the centre of each photo. We don’t think they expect people to cut these cards to size, but it would be possible to do. (We haven’t.) Unused. Grade: 1

Spread Buddhism in the World (folio) – cover
A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka, is a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like oil or acrylic, but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting. These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. We are indebted to Wikipedia from which we have condensed this description, and for this item you should also see our entries 20307649B/C. Buddha blesses you with peace … Unused. Grade: 1
