Stamp collection was my passion when I was a minor. My great grandmother's solid box with plenty of envelopes was a treasure for the hobby. Finding stamps of any sort, especially those that bear the images of Ethiopian kings, was exciting & fulfilling. A passion long gone, with its memory still fresh. Today they are a rare look as kings ebb & we correspond electronically.
They say we're God's image stamped in earth. This is evidenced in the Bible: "The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" (Ge 2:7). Earlier God proposed that we would be made after His own "image" & "likeness". So man is God's stamp lost in correspondence. But God didn't give up. He began His collection through His Son, Jesus.
