xhosa

 

This stamp shows a Xhosa woman and traditional beadwork.  It could also be considered x-rated - at least in Canada and USA?!

I certainly wouldn't send this stamp to the USA!

My X are here. Maybe I cheated a bit :)

Great stamp, which, as you point out, would not be issued in many countries of the world. My X is here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2026/01/its-still-xmas-peguins.html

X is one of the click sounds in their language. I used to know a lot about them as part of a social science course (a very long time ago) but the sound of their name is nearly all I can remember now!
