Oman, Iran, launch commemorative stamp
Muscat: To coincide with the visit of Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to the Sultanate of Oman, Oman Post, in cooperation with the National Post of Iran, announced the launch of a joint commemorative stamp today at Al Alam Palace in Muscat.
The joint stamp reflects the deep cultural and historical ties between Oman and Iran, and the two countries' shared commitment to a policy of good neighborliness, constructive cooperation, and cultural exchanges between peoples.
The stamp's artistic design embodies a visual harmony between the two countries' architectural and cultural symbols. At its center is the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, a prominent symbol of Omani Islamic architecture, framed by palm trees symbolizing Oman's resilience and deep-rooted agricultural heritage, which constitutes an integral part of the country's environmental and social identity.
Opposite, the historic Bastak Mosque in southern Iran is framed by the cypress tree, a symbol of eternity in Persian visual culture and a testament to cultural stability and continuity. At the heart of the design is a hand-woven Persian carpet, inspired by the one in the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
Handwoven in Iran's Khorasan Province and decorated with delicate floral motifs, it is a fine example of artisanal collaboration and a symbol of the diverse cultural ties between the two friendly countries and societies.
Above this scene, the sun of renewal and hope for a prosperous future rises, symbolizing the two countries' aspirations for positive cooperation. A carrier pigeon soars above, a symbol of communication, peace, and harmony, carrying a continuous and renewed message of friendship and shared interests.
Through this stamp, both sides affirmed their determination to enhance cooperation in the field of postal services, contributing to expanding promising areas of partnership with greater mutual benefits.
