Zambian History Through Postage Stamps

The Zambian Mace

The mace of the Zambian Parliament, a symbol of authority to enforce order was designed by Gabriel Ellison and is made of copper, ivory & amethyst representing our natural resources, it bears the shapes of 3 copper eagles and the words: Republic of Zambia, One Zambia, One Nation.

The mace is used ceremoniously during parliamentary sessions, signifying the Speaker's authority and the commencement of formal proceedings. Its presence in the Parliament is a continual reminder of the nation's rich heritage and the principles upon which it was founded.

The detailed craftsmanship and symbolic elements embedded in the mace make it not just a tool of authority, but a treasured artifact of national pride and unity.
