Bolivia 5 Cts II Congreso Eucaristico Nacional Airmail Postage Stamp
This item is a triangular airmail postage stamp from Bolivia, commemorating the 'II Congreso Eucaristico Nacional' (II National Eucharistic Congress). The stamp features a central design of a chalice with an unidentifiable host hovering above it, surrounded by radiating rays, symbolizing the Eucharist. The primary colors appear to be variations of muted purple or violet and off-white/cream. The overall shape is an equilateral triangle with serrated edges, indicating it has been detached from a sheet. Along the top two edges of the triangle, the inscription reads 'IIº CONGRESO EUCARISTICO NACIONAL'. The bottom edge of the triangle is a horizontal band containing further text. From left to right, this reads '5 cts', then 'BOLIVIA - CORREO AEREO', followed by 'cts 5' on the far right. Below this main inscription, in much smaller, less distinct text, the words 'LITO UNDUAS LA PAZ' are visible, likely indicating the printer and location of printing. The stamp shows minimal signs of wear or damage; the perforations appear intact, and the colors are relatively uniform, suggesting it is in good to very good condition, potentially uncirculated or lightly used. The detailed imagery and text within the small space demonstrate a good level of craftsmanship typical of postage stamp production.
