This is a close-up, angled shot of a postage stamp. The stamp features a dark background with a decorative border. The central image depicts a scene from a folk tale or myth, rendered in a bright, stylized manner with dominant red and orange colors. Two figures are prominent. The main figure, positioned on the right and slightly elevated, appears to be a female character with long, flowing red hair, dressed in ornate red and brown attire. She is in a dynamic pose, possibly fighting or engaged in a ritual, holding a long, dark object that extends downwards. Below her, to the left, is another figure, also in red clothing, lying on the ground in a supine position, possibly defeated or injured. The figures are depicted with bold outlines and simplified forms, characteristic of folk art. There is a vertical, decorative element on the right side of the stamp, resembling a tree or column adorned with patterned leaves. Visible text on the stamp includes Cyrillic script. Along the right edge, oriented vertically, is "И. И. Голиков. Пахарь. 1924", which translates to "I. I. Golikov. Ploughman. 1924." Along the bottom edge, also in Cyrillic and oriented horizontally but reversed, is "ПОЧТА СССР 1975", indicating "POSTAGE USSR 1975." In the bottom right corner, there is a prominent numeral "2" followed by a Cyrillic letter "к", likely indicating a denomination of 2 kopecks. The overall impression is one of dramatic action and vibrant color, suggesting a narrative scene from Russian folklore or history. The stamp was issued in 1975, commemorating a work from 1924 by artist I. I. Golikov. The location context of Onaldy, Turkmenistan, is not visually represented on the stamp itself but is provided as external information.
