Description
Ceylon – Scott #319 (1954 Deer, Used)
Issued in 1954, this handsome 2¢ definitive from Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) features a finely engraved image of a spotted deer standing alert beside a grazing doe. The design captures the natural grace of the island’s wildlife against a soft green forest backdrop.
Part of the postwar definitive series highlighting the flora and fauna of Ceylon, this issue reflects the country’s transition toward more locally themed designs, blending cultural and environmental motifs with refined Commonwealth engraving.
Printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., the stamp is beautifully detailed, with bilingual inscriptions in English, Sinhala, and Tamil. This used example shows a clean circular cancellation and rich color.
