Nederlands-Indië (Dutch East Indies) Werled-Jamboree 1937 Stamp

This is a philatelic item, specifically a postage stamp from Nederlands-Indië (Dutch East Indies) commemorating the 1937 World Jamboree. The stamp is predominantly red with white lettering and imagery, creating a striking contrast. It appears to be an unused stamp, indicated by the clean, uncancelled surface, and it is perforated on all four sides, with noticeable serration along the edges, suggesting it was part of a larger sheet and perhaps still attached to a marginal part of a sheet on the left side, as indicated by the extended perforations. The central design features two uniformed figures, likely boy scouts or girl guides, standing side by side, looking forward. Their attire suggests classic scouting uniforms, including hats and what appear to be short sleeves and shorts or skirts. Behind them, a stylized element, possibly representing a plane's wing or a directional arrow, adds depth to the design. The words ‘WERELD-JAMBOREE’ are prominently displayed at the top, curved around a numerical value ‘1937’, clearly indicating the event and year being commemorated. The denomination ‘CENT’ and ‘122₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁₂₂₁
