This stamp features the iconic 'Camel Postman' design, depicting a mail carrier on a camel traversing the desert. The design, originally created by Captain E.A. Stanton for the first definitive series of Sudan, symbolizes the vital role of this method of transport for communication across the vast country. This version is overprinted with 'O.S.G.S.' (On Sudan Government Service) for official government use.

Issued under the Anglo-Egyptian condominium rule of Sudan, these official stamps were used for government correspondence, reflecting the administrative structures of the colonial era.
