  4. Nice stamp sheet design, I love the combination of the black and white stamp photo and the coloured foreground, with the similarity that both the male lion and the queen mom turn their heads towards us.

    I am always wondering why skutcheon lions have their tongues out - Dutch lion does so, too.
