This commemorative set from Barbados, issued in 1981, celebrates the Caribbean Festival of Arts (Carifesta), a regional event showcasing the cultural heritage of the Caribbean.

• 15c – Landship Manoeuvre: Depicts the Barbados Landship in ceremonial naval-style uniforms, carrying the national flag.

• 20c – Yoruba Dancers: Features traditional Yoruba dancers, symbolizing the African roots of Caribbean culture.

• 55c – Sculpture of Frank Collymore: Honors Barbadian writer and cultural icon Frank Collymore, represented through a bust sculpture.
