By Eurostamper — June 19, 2008

Part four of this multi-year series is a set of 5 stamps showing 5 different animals seen in Hungary.

Hungary 2008 water buffalo stamp
The first (most expensive — HUF 600) is one of the finest designs of the year. A herd of water buffalo make their way through some water, light glinting dazzlingly behind one particular beast — the star of the set — who has been isolated and highlighted by the perforations that surround his space in the image. The entire picture is a beautiful balance of vibrant navy blues and Van Gogh-like golden shadows.

The other four animal stamps in this installment of this series are, in descending order of value:
HUF 310 - Hungarian donkey
HUF 170 - cikta sheep
HUF 150 - goat
HUF 145 - rabbit

All four of these stamps feature a light blue border with a drawing of the animal in the middle in its natural setting. All of them have blue/yellowish gold colors giving all five issues both a thematic and graphic unity.
