United States 3 Cents Postage Stamp Design

The item is a circular motif featuring a classic United States postage stamp design, likely an emblem or an applied decoration rather than an actual postage stamp due to the apparent lack of perforations and the surface it is depicted on. The design itself is predominantly dark blue or purple with white accents, creating a high-contrast visual. At the center is a white silhouette of a human head in profile, facing left, which strongly resembles the image of George Washington commonly found on U.S. stamps and coinage. Encircling this central portrait is a band with text. The upper half of the band reads "UNITED STATES POSTAGE" in white, capitalized letters, following the curve of the circle. The lower half of the band states "3 CENTS," also in white, capitalized letters, with the number '3' appearing on either side of the word "CENTS." The entire design is enclosed within a thin white and then a slightly thicker dark blue or purple circular border. The image quality is somewhat grainy, suggesting it might be a photographic reproduction or a decal on a textured surface. There are no clear indications of wear, damage, or repairs to the design itself, though the background appears somewhat uneven, potentially suggesting subtle texture or lighting effects. The style is distinctly governmental or official, characteristic of early to mid-20th-century U.S. postal designs. The quality of the reproduction of the stamp design appears crisp and well-defined.
