Portugal: Estremoz Clay Figure

Last Wednesday I got a postcard from Portugal.

It shows an Estremoz Clay Figure. Estremoz Clay Figures are made for more than 300 years ago. First there were only figures of saints and about the nativity, but nowadays there are figures about many aspects of the daily life of the people in Portugal's Alentejo region. The Craftmanship of Estremoz Clay Figures is since 2017 an Intangible Heritage of the UNESCO.


With a matching stamp:
UNESCO Intangible Heritage (from set of three) (issued 31-08-2018)


Thank You very much Rui!
