          Description
          Among the stamps of the new zodiac series launched in 2020, the Year of the Ox stamp is the second. The first set of Zodiac stamps was issued between 1992 and 2005, and the second set between 2008 and 2019.

          The mask design on the stamp incorporates symbolic elements. Some of these patterns are made in the style of Asian textiles. Purple flowers represent the arrival of spring. In Chinese culture, the Lunar New Year also marks the arrival of spring. The star in the center of the bull's head represents the celestial phenomena of the Chinese zodiac.



          Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp with original artwork by Camille Chew. Sold in blocks of 20, the Forever stamp will always be worth the current 1-ounce price of first-class mail.

          The Year of the Ox begins on February 12, 2021 and ends on January 31, 2022. People born in the same year are believed to have the same personality traits and other attributes as the zodiac they belong to. For example, the belief holds that the Ox and people born in the year of the Ox are honest, hardworking and very dependable.

          There are many traditions in welcoming a new year that brings good luck and prosperity. In communities across the U.S., people shop for holiday food and other supplies, hang decorations and ceremoniously clean their homes to usher in a new year.
