Indian Postage Stamp depicting a monarch, possibly King George V
The item is a postage stamp from India, likely dating to the early 20th century. The primary color of the stamp appears to be a dark green or teal, printed on what would typically be a light-colored paper, though the exact paper color is obscured by the overall dark tone and blurriness of the image. The stamp features a central oval vignette containing a profile portrait of a monarch, facing left. The headwear suggests a crown or a military cap-like design. Surrounding the oval are intricate decorative elements, possibly foliage or heraldic motifs, in a slightly lighter shade than the central portrait and the border. Along the top edge, the words 'INDIA POSTAGE' are discernible, although quite blurry. The bottom left shows a numerical value, potentially '1' or '1/2', followed by what seems to be 'ANNA', indicating the denomination. The overall condition is poor in terms of image clarity; the stamp exhibits significant blurring, making precise details such as perforations, specific facial features of the monarch, or minute design elements impossible to ascertain. There appear to be some wear marks or discoloration visible outside the stamp's immediate border, suggesting it might be attached to an album page or paper fragment. The style is typical of British colonial-era stamps, often featuring the reigning British monarch.
