This striking 1977 Israeli stamp features E.M. Lilien’s evocative illustration of the patriarch Abraham gazing toward the heavens, symbolizing the biblical promise of descendants as numerous as the stars. Rendered in Lilien’s distinctive Art Nouveau style, the scene shows Abraham in flowing robes beneath a star-filled night sky, staff in hand, embodying faith and ancestry. Issued as part of a cultural series celebrating Jewish artistic heritage, it is a popular item for thematic collectors of religion, Judaica, and biblical art. The 1.80-lira denomination and crisp intaglio reproduction make this an attractive stamp for Israel specialists.
