MV-P1

A postcard from Maldives showing the bokkura (ބޮއްކުރާ), a traditional vessel in this island nation. It is the smallest type of vessel used there. Thanks muxia for sending this card during traveling. 















A 15MVR stamp on dolphin was used. It was initially cancelled with a registered postmark of Male' on 8.6.2013 as requested by sender. Later, it was cancelled again with postmark of Mail Operations, possible also from Male', as the lower of this postmark is not clear.
