This beautiful set climaxed Occussi-Ambeno's entry to the world of full-colour offset printing, and the set is often chosen by tourists as their favorite stamps of Occussi-Ambeno ever. All stamps are multicolored; frame colours are listed here. The design is by Abdul Hamid Motsenewa, and show paintings of the various oriental birds. The stamps were printed by offset on white gloss paper with shiny gum by Courvoisier S.A., La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. To view the special First Day Cover, click here.
