Artifacts in the form of different birds, i.e. a duck, the hongse (a mythological swan), a pheasant, and a bantam rooster, each decorated with the elytra (hardened wings) of metallic beetles, and part of the Queen's Collection that is on permanent display in the Ananta Samahkom Hall, hence the reason why the white stroke on each stamp has the side profile of Queen Sirikit in gold.
