Terracotta, derived from the Latin words “terra” (meaning “earth”) and “cocta” (meaning “baked”), refers to objects made from baked clay. In other words, anything created by firing soil is considered terracotta. The usage of terracotta in Bangladesh dates back thousands of years. Terracotta artifacts can be found across some of the most ancient civilizations in the world, including the Maurya, Pala, Gupta, and Sena civilizations. These civilizations left behind impressive terracotta artworks, which were not only functional but also served as design elements in temples and buildings. The practice of pottery in ancient Bengal was widespread due to the availability of suitable clay soil. Most household utensils during that time were made of terracotta. Limited access to stones led to the popularity of terracotta as a building material and temple decoration. Notable ancient terracotta specimens have been found in places like Wari-Bateshwar and Mohasthan gar, dating back around two thousand years. The terracotta sculptures found in Wari-Bateshwar exhibit similarities to those from the Indus Valley Civilization. The Mauryan civilization also incorporated Greek and Persian influences in its pottery. Paharpur, an ancient Buddhist monastery, contains terracotta works older than the Pala civilization. The Sompur Mahavihara, the largest monastery from the Pala period, features over two thousand terracotta panels on its central temple. The Sena dynasty also contributed to the evolution of terracotta art in Bangladesh. In summary, terracotta has a rich heritage in Bangladesh, with its influence spanning ancient civilizations to contemporary times.

What is the set? A set which celebrates and showcases some of the art movements in the western world. Why this set? A lot of slowly users appreciate art. I believe with the new slowly feature of showing favourite stamps, having a stamp that looks like a work of art would be superb to see. It will also add a great discussion point for new connections as people can talk about their favourite artist and maybe about their own art! What will bring the set together? The usual stamp border will be in gold so that the design on each stamp looks like it is being framed. Each stamp can either feature a painting that is emblematic of the movement or feature an artist of that movement. See the Starry Sky by Van Gogh example with this Stamp Request! What/who should be featured in the set? Romanticism There are a lot of key artists here, it may be best to review some of the more iconic art pieces such as Wanderer over the sea of fog, Liberty leading the people, The 3rd of May 1808 Renaissance Leonardo Da Vinci is a clear influence here with famous works like Mona Lisa or the Vitruvian Man. Surrealism Salvador Dali is an excellent artist of surrealism, melting clocks would be an iconic piece. We could also consider Son of Man by René Magritte. Pop Art Andy Warhol is the most iconic of this style, I believe the four tone Marilyn Monroe or “Slowly” soup can would be the most iconic and would look great on profiles/letters. Expressionism Van Gogh is a key painter of this style, any of his works could work here including starry night and sunflowers would work superbly. How will it be released? As a premium stamp set for 100, maximum 6 stamps in the set. When will it be released? World Art History Day (April 15th) Inktober (October) [Art is heavily featured on social media] Mermay (May) [Another month of art being actively shared on social media] Leave a comment with how you could improve this stamp set and nay suggestions for other art movements, artists and art that could be featured in the set!

Nakshi kantha, a type of embroidered quilt, is a centuries-old Bengali art tradition of the Bengal region, notable in Bangladesh and Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and part of Assam. The basic material used is thread and old cloth. Nakshi kanthas are made throughout Bangladesh, but the greater Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Faridpur and Jessore, Chittagong areas are most famous for this craft. The colourful patterns and designs that are embroidered resulted in the name "Nakshi Kantha", which was derived from the Bengali word "naksha", which refers to artistic patterns. The early kanthas had a white background accented with red, blue and black embroidery; later yellow, green, pink and other colours were also included. The running stitch called "kantha stitch" is the main stitch used for the purpose. Traditionally, kantha was produced for the use of the family. Today, after the revival of the nakshi kantha, they are produced commercially.

Philosophy has been a part of Indian culture since the days of the Vedas. In fact, India is arguably the pioneer of systematized philosophical thought. It has inspired innumerable people, who have referenced it in their works. It would be great to have a stamp set of 6, each for one school of Indian Philosophy: Samkhya Yoga Vaishesika Nyaya Purva Mimansa Vedanta
