Syrian Wild Ass Onager - 50 naye paise
This selection expands on the inaugural 1964 definitive collection issued for the Emirate of Fujeira (الفجيرة). Maintaining the series' characteristic horizontal duo-panel layout, each stamp displays a formal portrait of Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi (ruler from 1942 to 1974) inside an elegant, gold-inked arabesque frame on the left, while showcasing the region's rich mammalian and avian biodiversity on the right.
This 4-np denomination illustrates a grazing Onager or wild ass (Equus hemionus), representing the resilient equines that historically roamed the semi-arid plains, desert margins, and rugged foothills of the Middle East. The composition captures the animal grazing calmly against a warm sunset gradient sky, showcasing its muscular, low-slung build engineered for swift traversal over rocky terrains. This mid-value stamp was widely used by the local postal administration for standard domestic print and letter rates.
