A set of special stamps and other philatelic products will be on sale from January 11, celebrating the upcoming Year of the Horse.

Introducing the design at a press conference today, designer Kan Tai-keung said he adopted four different art forms to depict the adventurous spirit of the horse - fabric art, wood carving, metal sculpture and lacquer ware.

Hongkong Post will also issue a silk stamp sheetlet, a snake and horse sheetlet, and two new horse-themed Heartwarming Stamps.
