This is a close-up, vertical, full-frame shot of a postage stamp from the USSR, dated 1976. The stamp features a dark, starry night sky as its background. In the foreground, a fantastical scene unfolds with two human-like figures intertwined, appearing to be in a dynamic embrace or a fall. One figure is depicted with fair skin and is reaching upwards, while the other is adorned in warm, earthy tones, with flowing red hair and a similar skin tone, and is falling or reaching downwards. Both figures seem to be mid-air, amidst stylized foliage and blooming flowers in shades of red, yellow, and white. To the right of the figures, a mythical bird, likely a phoenix or a firebird, is prominently featured with fiery orange and red plumage. Its wings are spread, and it appears to be in flight or poised for ascent, adding to the magical and celestial atmosphere of the stamp. The stamp is bordered by a decorative, golden, repeating spiral pattern on the top and right sides, and a vertical line of the same pattern on the left. In the upper left corner, the number "12" is boldly displayed in gold, followed by the Cyrillic letter "K" in black. Along the left edge of the stamp, written vertically in black text, is: "А. В. Котухин. Жар-птица. 1930". The top inscription reads "ПОЧТА СССР · 1976" in red lettering. The overall impression is one of fantasy, mythology, and artistic expression, possibly depicting a scene from Russian folklore or a literary work.
