Laos Postage Due Stamp, Red

Laos · 1922 · 10c

This is a postage due stamp, designed to indicate the amount of postage that was underpaid by the sender and needed to be collected from the recipient. The design is purely functional, featuring the denomination '10c' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate frame with the country name 'LAOS' at the top and 'CHIFFRE-TAXE' (Postage Due) at the bottom.

Issued under the French protectorate of Laos, this stamp reflects the administrative and postal systems established by the French in Indochina during the early 20th century.
