1935 Postage Stamp Earrings. These earrings use images from the 1935 pictorial postage stamps. This beautiful range of stamps features many iconic New Zealand images. Amongst them is this lovely adapted Maori Design. The subject of this stamp is a modification of a design adopted by Maori for the ornamentation of sliding panels used as doors, 'tatau', employing the preferred colours of red, black and white. The initial printing of this stamp by Waterlow and Sons was in black and red, subsequent printings by the New Zealand Government printer resulted in many colour variations from slate grey to black and red to scarlet.
These earrings are made with a reproduced image of an original stamp, printed on acid free paper and secured under glass. The earrings are presented on a secure card that details the image origin on the back should you want to send them as a gift.
