Jordan Post issued this commemorative set of 12 stamps in 2015 to showcase the traditional national dresses from different regions across Jordan. Each 20-piaster stamp features a woman wearing the distinctive traditional costume of a specific Jordanian governorate or cultural area, including Ajloun, Amman, Jerash, Karak, Ma'an, Madaba, Mafraq, Al-Salt, Tafilah, Umm Qais, and Wadi Rum, along with Bedouin traditional dress. The stamps celebrate Jordan's rich cultural heritage and the diverse regional variations in traditional women's clothing that reflect the country's historical textile craftsmanship and local customs. Each costume displays unique embroidery patterns, jewelry, and fabric choices characteristic of its region. The set was designed by the Elham Naser Foundation and printed by Super Star Press in Jordan, highlighting the importance of preserving and documenting traditional Jordanian cultural expressions through philatelic art.
