The design of this stamp shows pre-Columbian art, part of a series on customs,
images, and traditions of native Americans whose tribes and ancient
civilizations existed prior to Columbus's arrival.

Shown is a Key Marco Cat of the Calusa culture, produced before Columbus'
visit to the New World.

Wood carving is one of the oldest and most widespread forms of art.  Wood
carving has been practiced in almost all cultures from the earliest times.
