United Arab Emirates – Scott # 306, used

Description

Issued in 1990, United Arab Emirates Scott #306 is a high-value wildlife definitive stamp depicting a falcon, one of the most important cultural and national symbols of the UAE. Falconry has been practiced across the Arabian Peninsula for centuries and remains deeply tied to Emirati identity and heritage.

The design shows the falcon perched on a traditional falconry stand, illustrated in a realistic style that captures the bird’s strong talons, keen gaze, and finely detailed plumage. The soft blue background gives the stamp a clean, open appearance, allowing the natural tones of the bird to stand out prominently.

Arabic and English inscriptions identify the issuing country, while the 2-dirham denomination marks this as one of the higher-value stamps in the falcon definitive series, intended for heavier domestic or international mail.

This example is offered used, with visible cancellations, intact perforations, and solid color. A key stamp for collectors of Middle Eastern wildlife, birds of prey, and UAE definitive issues.
