In ancient Mexico, the Aztec people used ceramic stamps honoring animals, gods and the natural world to imprint cloth and pottery, make temporary tattoos, adorn manuscripts, and identify the creator of an important object. With this elegantly boxed set of 18 wooden-backed rubber stamps and an ink pad, you can enhance and beautify your modern-day correspondence. The enclosed bilingual booklet describes the meaning of the symbols and introduces the extraordinary culture that produced the images.
