The Chinese Empire Large Dragon stamps are one of the most attractive stamp issues of all time. When you soak up the intricate detail of this piece of artwork created with precise accuracy on a minute piece of paper, you can’t help admire the skill involved.
The dragon is an important symbol of Chinese culture. It is considered a symbol of power, strength and good luck.
