British India 3 Annas Stamp, George V with Camel Postman, Used

This is a rectangular, perforated postage stamp from British India, featuring a deep blue (possibly indigo or ultramarine) ink on a light paper background. The stamp depicts King George V in profile, facing right, wearing a crown and regal attire, enclosed within an ornate, possibly framed, section on the right side of the stamp. The left and central portion of the stamp illustrates a 'Camel Postman' scene, showing a figure riding a camel across a desert-like landscape, with mountains or hills in the background. The text 'INDIA POSTAGE' is prominently displayed at the top, above the central and right images. The denomination '3A 6P' appears at the bottom right, with '3A' likely signifying 'Annas' and '6P' possibly 'Pies'. The overall design suggests a colonial-era issue. The stamp exhibits a black circular postmark, partially obscuring the camel figure and bearing the word 'BOMBAY' (or 'NBAY' with the first letter obscured) and other illegible markings, indicating that the stamp has been used. The perforations are visible along the edges, suggesting it was torn from a sheet or booklet. The condition appears to be good for a used stamp of this age, with no apparent tears or major creases, though the postmark significantly covers a portion of the design. The style is typical of early 20th-century British Empire philately, combining imperial portraiture with local cultural or geographical representation.
