This stamp celebrates Oman's 7th National Day in 1977 by honoring indigenous hospitality, artisanal metal crafts, and domestic heritage (Min Al-Turath).The central illustration showcases a trio of highly distinct, traditional copper and brass Omani coffee pots (Dallah), known for their elegant, curved spouts and intricately engraved lids, which serve as timeless symbols of generosity, social gathering, and tribal diplomacy across the Arabian Peninsula.
