| Additional information |
Part of Portugal's ongoing series celebrating cultural exchange along former trade routes, this issue commemorates the hybrid decorative tradition that developed in Goa, Damão, and Diu under Portuguese administration — furniture forms that fused European baroque joinery with Indian carving techniques and local hardwoods like teak and rosewood. The style flourished particularly from the 17th century onward and remains actively collected.
