A striking cultural-heritage definitive from the United Arab Republic (Egypt), issued to support UNESCO’s international effort to save the ancient monuments of Nubia threatened by the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam. The design features a majestic Horus falcon statue in warm brown tones, set against pale blue reliefs depicting pharaonic figures and hieroglyphs. This stamp stands as an important philatelic artifact marking one of the largest archaeological rescue missions in history. Highly desirable for collectors of Egypt, UNESCO, and world heritage themes alike.
