The Gateway of Bab al-Yaman - 5 buqsha
This 1-bogchah official stamp ("TIMBRE GOUVERNEMENTAL") showcases the historic Bab al-Yaman, the monumental 1,000-year-old gate providing entry into the fortified old city of Sana'a. The detailed illustration depicts crowds of local citizens lined up in front of the massive clay and brick bastions, conveying a powerful message of civic assembly, national identity, and the enduring strength of traditional urban institutions. Issued under the authority of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen, the design is framed by an elegant decorative border carrying the formal state title in both French and Arabic script. By focusing on this supreme symbol of defensive craftsmanship and historical permanence, the program underscores the state's institutional stability and its deep-seated pride in safeguarding one of the world's most celebrated architectural heritages.
