Republique de Guinee-African Masks and Costumes Postage Stamps

The first stamps of independent Guinea were issued on 5 January 1959. Before that, Guinea used general French Colonies stamps, the stamps of Senegal and stamps of French West Africa.


Issued in the mid 60's and shown below (with details) is a partial set of stamps with illustrations of masks and costumes worn in the country. Missing from the set is a 200F value.
