己亥 (Year of the Pig) Rubber Stamp

RM28.00

2019 is known as the year of the pig, the Earth Pig Year or Ji Hai (己亥) 기해년. The calendar system is based on the combination of the 10 heavenly stems over the 12 Zodiac Signs.  Ji Hai (己亥) starts from 4th Feb 2019, ends on 24th January 2020.

This wooden rubber stamp features 2 Chinese/Japanese characters of 己亥 (Year of the Pig) in handwritten Chinese Calligraphy and are stylised into a rectilinear geometry. The geometrical style developed from the needs to adapt Chinese characters to block seals and stamps for official purposes in the past.

This rubber stamp would be great for adorning your journal pages, adding personalised touch to outgoings or any projects. It would also make a unique gift for people who are looking for something different.

Each piece of rubber stamps is assembled by hand with care and attention to details. We hope this unique creation will add some sparks in your everyday life.
