Bhutan 1 Nu. Postage Stamp Strip - Transport Theme (SUV and Airplane)

This item is a strip of six identical, cancelled postage stamps from Bhutan, each with a denomination of 1 Nu. The stamps depict a dual transport theme, featuring both an overland vehicle and an airplane. In the foreground of the design, a red sport utility vehicle (SUV), possibly a Land Rover or similar vintage four-wheel-drive, is shown driving on a winding road, suggesting mountainous or challenging terrain. The vehicle has luggage or equipment strapped to its roof rack, emphasizing its utility for travel and exploration. In the background, set against a light blue sky, an airplane is visible, presumably flying over a mountainous landscape with peaks and clouds (though the details are somewhat indistinct due to the stamp's size). The overall scene evokes travel and tourism, particularly within Bhutan's unique topography. Each stamp is perforated around the edges, a standard characteristic of most postage stamps, and is part of a gutter strip, indicated by the blank margin on the left side of the strip, typically found in stamp sheets. The stamps appear to be in generally good condition with no obvious significant damage such as tears, creases, or heavy foxing, though minor wear consistent with handling or storage might be present. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved, suggesting good printing quality and careful preservation. The text 'BHUTAN' is prominently displayed at the top left in English, with what appears to be its name in Dzongkha script (the national language of Bhutan) below it. The denomination '1 NU.' is visible on the right, and smaller text, possibly indicating 'MINISTRY OF TOURISM,' is also present, reinforcing the theme. The estimated age of these stamps would likely fall into the mid-to-late 20th century, given the vehicle and airplane styles depicted.
