United Arab Emirates – Scott # 309, used

Description

Issued in 1990, United Arab Emirates Scott #309 is part of the UAE’s wildlife definitive series featuring the falcon, one of the most enduring and revered symbols of Emirati culture. Falconry has been practiced for centuries across the Arabian Peninsula and remains deeply woven into the heritage and identity of the UAE.

The stamp shows the falcon perched on a traditional falconry stand, rendered in a realistic style that captures the bird’s strong stance, keen gaze, and finely detailed plumage. The soft pink background gives the design a warm, distinctive appearance while allowing the natural tones of the falcon to stand out clearly.

Arabic and English inscriptions identify the issuing country, while the 3-dirham denomination places this stamp among the higher-value definitives of the series, typically used for heavier domestic and international mail.

This example is offered used, with a visible cancellation, intact perforations, and solid color. A visually striking and culturally significant stamp for collectors of Middle Eastern wildlife, birds of prey, and UAE philately.
