Commemoration of the Arab Alliance- 10 buqsha

This stamp commemorates the 1937 Arab Alliance, specifically the Treaty of Arab Brotherhood and Alliance between the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The central illustration features a triad of crossed flags, with the flag of Yemen—bearing the sword of Ali and five stars representing the five pillars of Islam—prominently positioned to symbolize national sovereignty and pan-Arab solidarity. Issued during the reign of Imam Yahya bin Muhammad, the stamp reflects a pivotal era of Yemeni diplomacy and regional integration as the kingdom sought to define its identity and security within the broader Arab world. The intricate calligraphic inscriptions and the mention of the "Postes du Royaume de Yemen" underscore a formal institutional presence, highlighting Yemen’s historical role as a localized yet influential power in the Arabian Peninsula during the mid-20th century.
