One thing I can say is I do not think it is a pretty stamp. Muted colors--not distinctive to my eye. I had to look hard to determine exactly what it was that I was looking at....admittedly I am half blind. However it has some interesting history.
Originally a religious symbol as a sign of hope and faith. Later in life it became politicized in support of the emerging French nation. Ultimately a symbol of French resistance. Sprung from peasant origins, proud, opinionated, courageous and prolific. This stamp was issued in 1965 by Republique Francaise.
