This official stamp features the iconic 'Camel Postman' design, a symbol of mail delivery across the vast desert landscapes of Sudan. The central vignette depicts a postman riding a camel, set within an ornate frame. It is overprinted with 'S.G.' (Sudan Government) to designate its use for official government correspondence.

Issued during the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium period, this stamp represents the primary method of communication and administration in early 20th-century Sudan. The overprint signifies its specific function within the colonial governmental system.
