Printing process - Offset with embroidery.
Denomination - RM 35
The Nyonya Kebaya (traditional blouse dress worn by women) first appeared only in the early 20th century. The early versions features rather simple embroidery work, but later, especially from the 1960s onwards, a more exquisite and intricate embroidery began to emerge. While the early kebayas are hand sewn, the Nyonya kebaya today is embroidered using the sewing machine with flower motives being the favourite theme.
This
particular issue with the cloth embroidery has a
stamp with no perforations unlike in the paper version.
My stamp was sourced from stamp dealers Phila-Art.
