The background color is a rich purple.<\/p>\n<p>As he has with all previous Eid stamps, Zakariya employed traditional methods and instruments to create this design. He used homemade black ink, and his pens were crafted from seasoned reeds from the Near East and Japanese bamboo from Hawaii. The paper was specially prepared with a coating of starch and three coats of alum and egg-white varnish, then burnished with an agate stone and aged for more than a year. The black-and-white design was then colorized by computer.<\/p>\n<p>Art Director: Ethel Kessler<\/p>\n<p><em>[<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eid_al-Adha\" target=\"_blank\">Eid al-Adha<\/a> will be celebrated in September; previous Eid stamps have been around that time.
