Mint. MNH. No flaws. Original, undisturbed gum. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment. 

The U.S. Postal Service issued these gummed Lunar New Year stamps on February 5, 1994 in Pomona, CA in celebration of the Year of the Dog. Artist Clarence Lee, of Honolulu, created this intricate paper-cut design based on the Pekingese, the royal dog of China. Calligrapher Lau Bun, also of Honolulu, drew the Kanji characters on the side of the souvenir sheet, which may be translated as "Happy New Year!" The Lunar New Year, the most important holiday of the year for many Asian communities around the world, is celebrated primarily by people of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and Mongolian heritage.

2nd in the U.S. Lunar New Year stamp series. 

Years of the Dog include: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018.
