Burma King George VI One Anna Stamp

This item is a postage stamp from Burma, featuring the portrait of King George VI. The stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, typical of early to mid-20th-century philatelic items. The dominant color scheme appears to be monochromatic, likely a sepia tone or a faded brown/grey, suggesting the use of a single-color ink in its production. The central motif is a detailed bust portrait of King George VI, facing left, adorned with regal attire and a crown or headdress. Above the portrait, the word 'BURMA' is visible in capital letters, signifying its country of origin. Below the portrait, across the bottom edge, the denomination 'ONE ANNA' is clearly inscribed, with '1 An' or '1 A' also visible within a circular or oval cartouche, indicating its postal value. The background behind the portrait consists of intricate, possibly floral or scrolled, decorative elements, characteristic of the ornate designs often found on stamps of this era. The overall condition appears to be relatively good, with the perforations seemingly intact, though the image quality is somewhat blurry, making precise assessment of minute details difficult. There are no immediately obvious signs of major tears, creases, or significant staining, but a slight fading of the ink or minor discoloration from age is possible. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for government-issued postage stamps of the period.
