This Israeli stamp from 1961 illustrates national development efforts with a modernist depiction of an oil derrick in the Negev Desert. The geometric landscape symbolizes agricultural plots and desert terrain under a stylized pink sun. Part of a series highlighting industrial and economic progress, it reflects Israel's push for self-sufficiency and growth in the early decades of statehood. The trilingual inscription “Israel” appears in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, alongside a face value of 0.12 Israeli lira.
