Philippines: Carabao

On 26th March I got two postcards: one from the Philippines and one from Austria.

The card from the Philippines shows an illustration of a Carabao. The Carabao is a domestic swamp-type water buffalo native to the Philippines. It can also be found in Guam and Malaysia and has a special cultural significance in all three territories. The illustration is by Doodle ni Maria.

The Philippine Year of the Ox stamps (issued 28-12-2020) were used on the card. The ox shown especially on the right stamp looks rather similar to the Carabao. The postmark used on the stamps is really minimalistic showing just the date. 


Thank You very much Jill!
