ANGUILLA

DESCRIPTION: This set of stamps was issued in 2003 as a celebration of recent Amerindian or Arawak artifacts from Anguilla. Most of these pieces are from digs in the The Fountain, which is preserved as a future national park. Other sources are at Rendezvous Bay, Sandy Ground, Sandy Hill, and other sites of pre-historic occupation in Anguilla. Pictured is a Stone Pestle, a worked shell ornament in the shape of a frog, some pottery and a worked shell ornament mask, which was probably worn around the neck. The beautiful carved face (out of a shell) and mask were probably worn around the neck as signs of rank and power. The tiny carved frog is beautifully detailed and is believed to have been made in Anguilla. Other items in this collection, although not issued on stamps is the stone axe comes from about 1500 BC, before fixed agricultural settlements and pottery, when Anguilla was occupied by a fisher and hunter society. The snuff tube shaped like a shark was for use with ceremonial hallucinogenic powder called Cahoba. Also the ritual spatula, to cleanse yourself by vomiting away your impurities.
