This stamp wasn't one of the originals that I had found, but it really caught my attention when I first saw it. It's a modernist design with both symmetrical and asymmetrical elements. It was made in March, 1983, but design elements were adopted from modernist styles of the 1940's. It's a horizontal design with a thin border line around that accents the matching colors within. "Equality and dignity" is in a modern type, and the negative space in the design brings the eye around and under the rainbow birds, and into the type. There isn't a whole lot of illusion of depth in the piece other than the width of the hands, where one hand overlaps the lower bird.
