Item Description

This rare 1994 Sierra Leone souvenir stamp highlights the iconic "Face on Mars," a landmark in space exploration and cultural fascination. Issued to celebrate international cooperation in Mars exploration, the design integrates the infamous Viking Orbiter photograph that sparked widespread intrigue about extraterrestrial life. Accompanied by an original letter from Alan Shawn Feinstein Associates, this piece is a unique blend of philately and cosmic history, making it a must-have for collectors.

The "Face on Mars" stamp is inspired by a 1976 photograph taken by NASA’s Viking Orbiter, which captured a shadowy resemblance of a human face on the Martian surface. While later imagery debunked the anomaly, it remains a pop culture icon and a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about the cosmos.

This collectible is ideal for space enthusiasts, philatelists, and sci-fi collectors. It also appeals to anyone captivated by the history of Mars exploration and the artistic representations it has inspired.

The stamp is in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear, and the letter is in good condition with some light aging visible. Please refer to the images for detailed condition insights.

A fascinating addition to any stamp collection or space memorabilia archive. This unique souvenir reflects the fusion of science and imagination, underscored by its historical provenance. Estate auction sales are final—don’t miss this rare find!
