Khanjar Bo Sayfain - The Royal Emblem of Oman - 20 baisa

This stamp features the national emblem of Oman, the Khanjar Bo Sayfain, which serves as the ultimate symbol of Omani identity, sovereignty, and chivalry. Centered against a radiating background, the illustration depicts a traditional curved dagger (khanjar) superimposed upon two crossed swords, a motif that has represented the Al Said dynasty and the nation’s martial heritage since the 18th century. The emblem conveys a message of strength and protection while celebrating the exquisite craftsmanship of Omani silversmithing, an art form deeply rooted in the country's social fabric and ceremonial life. By prominently displaying "Muscat & Oman" in both Arabic and English, the stamp highlights a transitional period in the nation's political history, bridging its traditional tribal roots with its emerging role as a modern, unified state.
