Macau Ceres Issue, 1 Avos
Macau · 1913 · 1 Avos
This stamp features an allegorical depiction of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility. She is shown holding a sickle and a sheaf of wheat, classic symbols of the harvest. The design was a common type used across various Portuguese colonies during this period.
Issued under Portuguese administration, this stamp is part of the first series for Macau to use the Ceres design, which replaced the King Carlos I portrait issues after the 1910 revolution established the Portuguese Republic.
