| General Description : | OFDC Cancellation Location: Toronto, Ontario Layout: Pane of 25 stamps - Gum Type: P.V.A. Calligraphy: Tan Chao Chang In Western culture, calling someone a snake is considered fighting words. But in the Asian countries that celebrate the Lunar New Year, the Snake is viewed as the wisest and most enigmatic of all the zodiac creatures. In fact, it’s such a strong sign of intelligence and luck that an ancient Chinese saying notes that finding a snake in one’s home is great fortune and ensures that the inhabitants will never go hungry.
