The 1960s were years of upheaval and color — the Beatles were changing music in the West, the Apollo program was reaching for the Moon, and across Asia, countries were forging new identities in a shifting world. In Umm Al Qiwain, one of the Trucial States that would soon unite into the UAE, stamps became both currency and cultural expression. Printed for collectors worldwide, these bold designs carried images far beyond their borders.
This striking issue features a ceremonial mask from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), its vivid reds, purples, and greens blazing against a hot background. It was more than decoration — it was a conversation between traditions, a way for a tiny Gulf state to join the global stage through art on paper. Now carefully restored, this extraordinary design returns as a museum-quality poster, perfect for collectors, design lovers, or anyone who craves a splash of mid-century exotic color.
