Cypriot matchboxes where most of them are over 6 decades old.
Beautiful wooden matchboxes, with landscapes from Cyprus, which are before the Turkish invasion of the island.
Four different matchboxes depicting Ethnarch Makarios.
Aphrodite in representations of two matchboxes, since, as it is known, according to the Homeric legend, Aphrodite was born on a coast of Paphos in Cyprus, that is why she was given the nickname “Cypriot”!
Machboxes also have on their labels the Cypriot “agrino”, the wild sheep of Cyprus.
But also a rare large matchbox, an envelope, which in its representation has two photos from the celebration of Easter and Salamis of Famagusta.
