Here's another beautiful postcard from Kun. It portrays a young lady playing the pipa. The pipa, also known as the Chinese lute, is a four-stringed traditional Chinese musical instrument. It has a pear-shaped wooden body and a varying number of frets ranging from 12 to 26. It belongs to the plucked category of instruments and has been played for almost two thousands years in China.
Kun kindly affixed the $3 stamp from the Museums Collection series, with First Day Cancellation (06 December 2011). The stamp represents a Green Glazed Barrel for herbal tea, displayed at Dr. & Mrs. Hung Hin Shiu Museum of Chinese Medicine, located in Kowloon. Thank you very much Kun! =)
