Namibia Ethnic Headdresses - 2002

NAMIBIA on 20 March 2002 issued two sets of souvenir sheets with six stamps on each sheet. Each showed the different headdresses of the ethnic groups of the country. In total, 12 stamps designed by Mary Jane Volkmann were issued.

On the back of each stamp there is a description of the respective ethnic headdress. In the first printing, the descriptions were printed in reverse. This mistake was corrected and few weeks later when the sheets were reissued with the correct description printing (although the "mistake" allows correct orientation when you put the two sides together). The version I own is from the first printing, but I have scanned it to show the correct orientation.
