Ostrich in Savanna Landscape - 20 centesimo
This slate-blue 2.55-lire definitive stamp highlights the unique endemic fauna of the Horn of Africa, featuring a stylized vertical profile of a Somali ostrich (Struthio molybdophanes or Struthio camelus). Set against a background of sweeping savanna hills and a lone palm tree, the engraving captures the proud stature of the world's largest living bird. The architectural frame frames the central vignette with intricate geometric scrollwork, while the bottom corner displays an Arabic value tablet. This issue natively integrated local wildlife icons into the regular 1932 pictorial definitive series to represent the natural heritage of the territory.
