MADONNA AND CHILD

The "entire" cachet depicts a Holy Land city -- over which two angels watch from the heavens. Above the angels, the North Star glistens high in the sky. A lone sheep -- symbol of peace -- wanders toward a palm lined path at the city's gate. A single stamp has the official "First Day of Issue" cancel from Detroit. A very pleasing FDC. Item #R1001 - $7.00.
