A Primitive Carving of a Selkie
A PHANTOM CINDERELLA STAMP
The Amphoran Postal Union issued this stamp to
honor the arts of the colony of Mermen from the
north coast of Amphora. This is legendarily the
center of Aquatic Learning in the Empire of Amphora.
Hippocampus is the city of the learned ones.
For them this stamp was issued. It commemorates
immemorial bricabrac whittled at sea by the ancient
Sea Men.
The postal value of this stamp is One Krater.
