Description: This beautifully preserved, diamond-framed stamp carries a face value of 30 fillér and features a detailed depiction of a Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) perched upon a leafy oak branch. The bird is meticulously rendered with intricate brown and golden-ochre plumage patterning, distinctive feathered ear tufts, and a vivid orange eye. Set against a muted, soft sage-green backdrop, the composition highlights the nocturnal predator within its natural forest habitat. The bird's Hungarian common name, "BUHU" (an archaic or local variants for the eagle-owl, commonly known as uhu), is cleanly printed in block letters at the upper right apex, balanced by the scientific name running along the left inner frame. Bold, vertically oriented typography reading "LÉGIPOSTA" (Airmail) frames both side margins, while the lower segment anchors the design with the country name "MAGYAR POSTA" and the signature of artist "GÓZÁN LAJOS."
