The stamp shows a panoramic view of the Itaipu hydroelectric power plant, a strong token of the close relations between Brazil and Paraguay. In the background, one can
see the reservoir of the Itaipu plant, shared by the two countries. At the center, its dam can be seen to the right and its spillway to the left. The dam joins the two banks of the Paraná River. The border between Brazil and Paraguay is at the center of the dam. Brazil is on the right side and Paraguay is on the left side, where one can see the open spillway. As a tribute to a sister country, one can see the logo of the 200th anniversary of Paraguay¿s independence on the lower left corner. Photography and computer graphics techniques were used.
