This stamp was issued by the Emirate of Dubai (دبي) to commemorate the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics. The upper-right corner features a detailed portrait vignette of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who ruled Dubai from 1958 to 1990. This issue effectively paired an international celebration of global sportsmanship, physical conditioning, and athletic achievement with the official sovereign authority authorizing the emirate's expanding postal administration.
