Description

I am offering an extremely colorful philatelic set from Somalia from 2001, dedicated to the fascinating world of insects. This series was issued to commemorate a prestigious philatelic exhibition in Japan (Phila Nippon '01), which adds to its special collector's value.

Set Composition (MNH Condition)

• 3 Single Stamps: Values of 200, 400, and 3300 Sh. So. They depict various species of caterpillars in their natural habitat, with remarkable attention to anatomical detail and coloration.

• Large Souvenir Sheet: A true work of art! The stamp sheet illustrates the process of metamorphosis – from a caterpillar, through fanciful forms resembling nymphs, to an adult butterfly on flowers. The stamp has a high face value of 5,000 Sh. So. and is decorated with the Phila Nippon '01 exhibition logo featuring Mount Fuji.

Why is this series worth your attention?

• Nature Theme: An excellent choice for collectors of themes: Fauna, Insects, Butterflies, Nature.

• Exhibition Value: Issues related to major world exhibitions (such as Phila Nippon) are always highly valued by philatelists.

• Artistic Vision: D. Vangelli's design combines a scientific representation of caterpillars on the stamps with a fairy-tale-like artistic composition on the margin of the block.

• Italian Craftsmanship: Production by I.P.Z.S. Roma ensures vivid colors and the highest quality of workmanship.

• Flawless Quality: Set in MNH condition, fresh and clean – ready to be placed in a stamp album.
