United Arab Emirates – Scott # 141, used

Description

Issued in 1981, United Arab Emirates Scott #141 commemorates the International Year of Disabled Persons, a global initiative sponsored by the United Nations to promote equality, accessibility, and social inclusion for people with disabilities. The issue reflects the UAE’s participation in this worldwide humanitarian campaign.

The design features a bold, modern emblem showing two simplified human figures, one using a wheelchair, framed by laurel branches that symbolize dignity and achievement. Behind them appears a stylized torch or abstract symbol of hope and progress. The soft golden-yellow background gives the stamp a warm, uplifting tone, reinforcing the theme of human compassion and social responsibility.

Arabic and English inscriptions identify both the issuing country and the international observance, making the message universally readable. The clean graphic style reflects the design trends of the early 1980s and gives the stamp a contemporary, poster-like appearance.

The 2-dirham denomination places this stamp among the higher-value commemoratives of the period, intended for international or heavier mail.

This example is offered used, with a visible cancellation, intact perforations, and strong color. A meaningful addition for collectors of humanitarian, disability awareness, United Nations themes, and UAE philately.
