Slavic Acanthus Tapestry

Under Review

Description: This highly detailed olive-green definitive stamp from Czechoslovakia highlights a large numeric "50" positioned inside a bold, horizontally oriented oval frame. The surrounding background matrix is completely filled with an intricate, hand-engraved arrangement of Baroque-style scrolling acanthus vines and leafy foliage that spreads out to fill the rectangular dimensions. The national title "ČESKOSLOVENSKO" stretches across a dedicated upper horizontal banner, mirrored along the lower section by the plural currency text "HALÉŘŮ". The baseline border area exhibits the miniature signature of the master steel artisan, while thin, dark black ink lines from a postal cancel mark strike diagonally through the outer borders to denote its past commercial routing.

Circa: 1954 – 1963 

Condition: Used - Hinged
