Some time ago I received this commemorative cover from Malaysia. It displays some stamps from the “Traditional Malaysian houses” set issued on July 9th 2009.

The full set contains 16 different designs, each worth 50 sens. The miniature sheet must be huge in size as even the single stamps are somewhat large.

The stamps have somewhat interesting desing as they combine a photo (of house), line drawing (design of house) and color drawing (details from the house):
