Continuing the local architecture and heritage set, this issue highlights the distinct ornamental brickwork and tile details often found on historical minarets throughout the Gulf region. The design captures the interplay between traditional craftsmanship and modern urban landscapes in Bahrain.

Issued in 1976 by the State of Bahrain (STATE OF BAHRAIN / دولة البحرين), this 150 Fils postage stamp (POSTAGE / 150 FILS / ١٥٠ فلساً) displays a soaring, intricately decorated minaret adorned with patterned brickwork and multi-tiered balconies, standing adjacent to a low-rise modern structure. As with other denominations in this series, an inset portrait of Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Emir of Bahrain, appears in the upper right corner.
