This stamp was issued in 1972 as part of a set celebrating the traditional dances of Bolivia. This one represents a waca tokhori, or man wearing a bull body mask (waca waca). The dance of the waka tokhoris mimics and pokes fun at the Spanish tradition of bull fighting, a common passion during the colonial era.
