Canadian Red Fox Postage Stamp

This item is a Canadian postage stamp featuring a depiction of a red fox. The stamp is rectangular in shape with perforated edges, indicating it is likely an unused stamp or part of a stamp sheet. The central image is a headshot of a red fox, rendered with rich orange-red and white fur tones, set against a dark, possibly blurred, background. The fox appears to be looking slightly to the right, showcasing its prominent ears and facial features. To the left side of the fox image, the word "CANADA" is printed vertically in a light, possibly white or cream, sans-serif font. In the bottom right corner of the fox image, the number "60" is visible, signifying the denomination or value of the stamp. On the far right edge of the stamp, there is vertically printed text, which appears to be 'Red Fox' and possibly a French translation, though it is partially obscured and difficult to read clearly. Along the very bottom edge of the stamp, there are four small, colored circles or dots (blue, magenta, yellow, black), which are typical printer's color registration marks, suggesting this stamp may be from the selvage of a stamp sheet or a proof. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears, creases, or major discoloration visible from the image. The colors are vibrant and the printing appears sharp, typical of a modern or relatively recent issue postage stamp. The craftsmanship points to mass production with high-quality printing.
