This is a postage stamp depicting a scene from a fairy tale. In the foreground, four figures in ornate, historical costumes are gathered around a red carpeted area. The central figure, an older person with a long, striped robe and a staff, appears to be the focal point. To their left, a person in a vibrant red coat and matching hat stands prominently. To the right of the central figure, two other individuals, one in a red and white ensemble and another in a dark gown with red accents, are also present. Behind the figures, a rich, patterned screen or tapestry forms the backdrop, suggesting an indoor, opulent setting. To the far left, a pedestal holds a red, bird-like statue, possibly a squirrel, and a dark, ornate structure. The overall scene is richly colored with deep reds, browns, and blues. The stamp has a dark border with decorative elements along the edges. Visible text on the stamp includes "1977", "ПОЧТА СССР" (which translates to "Post of USSR"), the number "12", and the letter "К". Along the right edge, there is text in Russian: "А.И. Козлов. Сказка о царе Салтане 1956", which translates to "A.I. Kozlov. The Tale of Tsar Saltan 1956". This indicates the stamp commemorates the 1956 tale by A.I. Kozlov, likely illustrating a scene from it, and was issued in 1977. The imagery suggests a formal or ceremonial gathering within a historical or fictional court. No specific time of day or weather is discernible. The location context of Onaldy, Turkmenistan is not visually represented on the stamp itself.
