A Dolmen is a form of stone monument found in a variety of places throughout the world. It is a megalithic structure, made of two or more upright stones with a single stone lying across them. The most widely known Dolmen is found in northwest Europe, notably in the region of Brittany, France; southern Scandinavia; Britain; Ireland; and the Low Countries. They are also present in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia and especially large numbers exist in Korea, with examples there dating to c. 1000 BCE.

This postal stamp was issued by Abkhazia in 1995. The stamp depicts the dolmen structure displayed at the Sukhumi museum.
