This striking 1968 Christmas airmail issue from Ras Al Khaima features a classical religious scene depicting the Flight into Egypt, with the Virgin Mary carrying the infant Jesus on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph and attendants. The design is inspired by traditional European Renaissance-style artwork, giving it a rich, painterly aesthetic highly appreciated by thematic collectors. Issued during the era of Trucial States philatelic productions, this stamp combines religious, art, and Christmas themes, making it desirable for multiple collecting categories. The long horizontal format enhances the storytelling aspect of the scene, while the “Christmas 1968” panel adds clear commemorative significance. A fine example of Middle Eastern Christmas issues, this stamp is especially popular among collectors of Biblical art, holiday stamps, and topical religious themes.
