Sunday Stamps - Arts and Crafts: Algeria, Lebanon, Great Britain

 The Arts and Crafts proved more difficult than I expected so I have used some stamps I have shown before.

However this stamp  shows jewellery of the Berber Kabyle people from the province of Kabylia in northern Algeria.

Algeria - 26 February 1966

My second stamp is a bit worse for wear but shows a potter at his work.

Lebanon - 1 February 1973

One of the most famous tapestrys in the world The Bayeux Tapestry is actually a collection of hand-stitched embroideries, using woollen yarns on to a linen backcloth, rather than a tapestry. Despite its name it was not made in France; it was made in Kent.

Great Britain - 14 October 1966

These are three of the stamp set issued to commemorate the 900th Anniversary of the Battle of Hastings.

In the one on the right you can see Harold getting an arrow in the eye.

I like the display of jewelry, and the skill of making a very large and long pot.

I would love to have the Bayeux Tapestry set, but that arrow in the eye always make me close my eyes and turn away.
Somehow, the Berber jewellery is just as I would have expected it to look.

I love all the stamps. But, this week, my vote goes for the pottery :)
