Description

This dynamic series from 2003 is a tribute to Somali cavalry traditions and historical warriors. D. Vangelli utilized a unique artistic approach—the figures of the horsemen are presented in a classical, almost sculptural style, which contrasts sharply with the modern, geometric backgrounds. The colorful stripes and semi-circles in the background infuse the composition with incredible energy, suggesting the rush of horses through desert landscapes. It is a set that perfectly merges history with bold 21st-century design.

Detailed Set Composition (MNH Condition):

• 200 Sh. So: An armed rider with a spear on a white horse, set against blue and yellow geometric shapes.

• 400 Sh. So.: A warrior with a raised saber in full gallop, dominated by warm shades of gold and brown.

• 3200 Sh. So.: A rider with a shield and sword, presented on a vivid pink and purple background.

• Souvenir Sheet (3000 Sh. So.): The centerpiece of the collection, depicting a dignified commander in blue robes and traditional headgear, set against a muted desert panorama.

Why Is This a Perfect Choice?

• Impressive Souvenir Sheet: The souvenir sheet is a centerpiece for any album and significantly enhances the value of the set.

• Artistic Style: Vangelli’s characteristic line work makes the figures appear noble and proud.

• Prestigious Printing: The Italian school of philatelic printing (I.P.Z.S. Roma) guarantees the highest quality of detail.
