This postage due stamp ("Timbre Taxe") celebrates the natural beauty and traditional settlements of southern Libya under the post-World War II French military administration ("Territoire du Fezzan").The fine engraving depicts the serene Oasis of Brak, highlighting a local village structure with arched doorways and a distinctive pointed minaret or watchtower, completely framed by towering, native Saharan date palms and a reflective water pool in the foreground.
