Subject: |
Black and
white silhouettes depicting various
disciplines
and sports
that featured at the
8th SEAP Games, namely: 1. Sailing; 2. Badminton; 3.
Volleyball; and 4. Shooting. In black on each stamp is also
the emblem of the 8th SEAP Games, i.e. an eight-pointed
floral star made of two squares put together and decorated
with
kanok
motifs,
and at the centre a circle with the logo of the SEAP Games,
i.e. a circle of six
interlocking rings. The latter is also depicted in white
print, spread over the four stamps, and can be seen in full
if the stamps are joined
two-by-two in order of increasing value,
as with se-tenant stamps. |
