This definitive stamp celebrates Lebanon's high-altitude landscapes and migratory avifauna by showcasing a large bird, typically identified as a heron or stylized eagle, soaring above the terrain. The vibrant red engraving captures the bird with outstretched wings descending over a distant, snow-capped Mount Sannine skyline. This composition conveys a powerful message of freedom, natural beauty, and environmental pride. Distributed by the Lebanese Republic for daily postal services, the design highlights one of the country's most imposing mountain peaks as an enduring symbol of national geographic identity.
