Jaguar Woman

A COMMEMORATIVE STAMP FROM AMPHORA

The Amphoran Postal Union, in it's series of stamps

featuring Goddess icons, did not forget the heritage

of Mesoamerica.

Jaguar Woman is a sculpture created by the Postmaster

General of Amphora, who also happens to be the stamp's

designer, printer, perforator, and gummer.

The gum recipe of the Amphorans is a state secret of

the Empire of Amphora.

The hieroglyphs in this stamp's margins were transcribed

from the doorway of the Temple of the Jaguar, found

somewhere in the remote jungles of artistic imagination.
