The Age of the Vikings

Thank you Monika! Two stamps from the 'The late Iron Age-The Age of the Vikings' 5v. She writes that the above stamp shows a rich grave good found with interred men with  horses. These warriors are depicted in life, in the stamp background, on the Island of Gotland, in Broa. Below stamp is a 6th cent bronze Buddha statue recovered from Lake Malaren, in Helgo which was likely crafted in Kashmir. 
Thank you Monika! At top are gold and bronze plated figurines. Monika writes that the lower jewelry piece in the form of a woman is, "probably depicting the goddess Freya." Issued: March 26 2015 in booklet and s/s form.
