This Berlin issue features the medieval sculpture Christus–Johannes-Gruppe (Christ and St. John), created around 1320 in Upper Swabia. The stamp, printed in rich brown tones, highlights the intimate pose of Christ with the beloved disciple resting on His shoulder—a masterpiece of Gothic religious art. Issued by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin, it forms part of a series dedicated to important artworks held by the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation). A desirable piece for collectors of German cultural history, religious art, and Berlin postal issues.
