2023160 Years Abolition of Slavery 1863-2023 - Miniature Sheet

Cpost International is proud to present this emission of six stamps dedicated to the 160 years abolition of slavery. The first stamp left of the top row of 250c has the plantation house “Knip” on it in the background. Here is the place where the slave revolt in Curaçao started in 1795. Also enslaved women were battling for freedom. The middle stamp 350c on the top row has the fist of the fight for freedom and a chain with an open shackle. This was designed by Yubi Kirindongo and is placed on 7 key locations of the fight for freedom that took place in Curaçao in 1795. The right stamp on the top row 450c has the portrait of an Afro-Caribbean woman who expresses strength, beauty, dignity and grace. The kibrahacha flowers gracing her, reflect bright, beauty and strength as these trees can survive without water for long periods of time.
