Upu - Universal Postal Union - Symbol Stamps

Briefly stated (excerpted from Wiki):




In other words, based on my previous reference, it is stamp-related and post office-related papers, documents, cards, receipts, labels, advertising, etc., that are not stamps themselves, but directly or indirectly relates to that collecting discipline.

You are missing the 2d (2 globes) issue from your Jamaica set.
Here is a list of all the countries/colonies involved in this omnibus issue, although I notice that Southern Rhodesia is is not listed. Only 2 of the 4 stamps were issued for Southern Rhodesia.

Here are images of the three engraved stamps in a set depicting the main motif of the UPU Monument in Bern, Switzerland, and issued by Senegal on June 14, 1963 to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the country's admission to the UPU, Scott Nos. 218-220. The design of these stamps is credited to Pierre-Louis Dekeyser (1914-1984), a zoologist and a director of the African Institute of Basic Research (IFAN) in Dakar, who was also somewhat of an artist. The engraver is credited neither on the stamp nor in my SG catalogue; it appears to me to possibly be the work of Albert Decaris, who engraved several other stamps for Senegal in the early 1960s.
