Description: This 4 Drachmae value displays a detailed reproduction of a traditional Greek folk embroidery, specifically depicting a "wedding procession" (or psiki). The design features stylized figures—likely the bride and groom riding on horseback or donkeys—accompanied by standing attendants holding what appear to be flags or ceremonial objects. The scene is rendered in white, red, and blue threads against a rich green background, mimicking the texture of the original woven fabric. The stamp bears the bilingual country name "ΕΛΛΑΣ - HELLAS" at the bottom left and the value "ΔΡ. 4" at the bottom right, set against a dark border.
Circa: 1966-1970s

Notes:
This stamp belongs to the widespread 1966 "Popular Art" (or Folk Art) definitive set, which replaced the "King Paul" issues. The series is celebrated for showcasing Greece's rich heritage of handicrafts, including ceramics, woodcarving, and textiles.
