Issued by the Republic of Niger in 1979 for the Philexafrique 2 philatelic exhibition held on June 2, 1979, this 50 Francs stamp beautifully highlights traditional African craftsmanship. The central image depicts a “Zabira” bag, an intricately designed handmade leather pouch known for its vivid colors and geometric motifs, representing Nigerien cultural artistry. In the upper corner, a smaller stamp reproduction shows the 45F “Plumeria Rubra” issue, linking the design to Niger’s diverse philatelic heritage. Printed by Cartor, the issue celebrates African creativity and philately together.
