THE STAMP COLLECTION

In 1894, Ethiopia issued its first postage stamps, bearing the portrait of Emperor Menelik II and the Lion of Judah. Our collection brings these designs back as keychains, so a small piece of that history can travel with you. Choose from the Emperor Menelik II in grey, the Royal Blue Emperor Menelik II, or the Lion of Judah. Carry the story wherever you go.
