A couple of slightly short perforations with traces of original gum. This classic stamp issue from 1897 depicts a wild goose (or Bean Goose). The bean goose was an important motif in Chinese poetry symbolising bearing a message of love from afar. It is an apt and appealing symbol for this Qing Dynasty stamp.
