The Powerful Hunter

The 2010 Astrological Sign postage stamp observes the traditional Thai calendar and this year is the Year of the Tiger.  Tigers have been used since olden days as a symbol of power and endowed with grandeur.  Those who see them are impressed by their dignified appearance but, at the same time, they may be threatened by the power and strength of the beast.  Tigers have been considered to be the King of Beasts and they are true hunters.
