Two stamps from the 1981 "International Decade for Women" set which show Mongolian women in everyday life. (The skipping girl bouncing from stamp to stamp) They are details from a larger gauche painting by Ts. Davaakhuu (1944-2000) entitled 'Collective Farms' which today hangs in the Mongolian National Modern Art Gallery in Ulan Bator. Here you can see just a detail of the whole painting which features the scene on the stamps and compare how the stamp designer has incorporated the colour green as a design choice.

Interesting subject. I like the colors on the stamp.
and they show yurts! An energy efficient dwelling. thank you for participating.
I'm glad you included the painting as it brings the stamps alive. Yurt is an interesting word for Scrabble.
I love the painting, and they've done a really good job of showing it on the stamps.
Sure it's green! You don't want people to think your country is brown and desolate, do you?
These stamps look so alive!
