For several years I have asked for help to identify this stamp but failed to get even a single feedback, anyone here knows anything about this stamp.
Thx

it looks like someone took an empty label and started to create a drawing with a fine pen, but did not finish it.
Are you sure the picture is printed? If so, it could be a piece of selvage from a souvenir sheet, meaning that it is not a proper stamp.

But of course my learned friends. Clearly it is a growing embryo of a hairy fingerprint.
Always happy to help!!

It would seem to be upside down. Rotate through 180 degrees and it shows a careful drawing of a winter tree, in which the artist is attempting the gradience between larger boughs and smaller branches and twigs. S/he has omitted the trunk, so a second guess would be some arrangement of veins and capillaries.
Not sure why it should be thought of as a stamp (except for the perforated paper). It does not satisfy any definition of a postage stamp, though I suppose it could be a label detached from one.

It is a genuine postage stamp. The paper seem to have some kind of watermark to it, but I can’t picture it out.
Also if observed closely, there is like a slight embossment horizontally which I believe was created from the post office sorting rollers. And it has been with me for many years till todate.

The drawing reminds me of the cerebellum of a human brain.

what Sunny is showing us, though, is an invert, making it an antebellum

Sunny, the paper is real stamp paper, I am sure, but this is a doodle that was made on a piece of blank stamp paper that you find along the edges of a sheet of stamps. These blank pieces of paper on the edges of sheets and panes is referred to as selvage.

You just have to love people who ask a question, saying that they know nothing about the subject matter, and then argue when they get their answer.

Could it be a 'partial' inking of a Latvian stamp that was printed on paper from a map??
Just a wild guess.

Sunny,
Could you show us a clear picture of the other side?
And could you also measure the stamp and tell us its size?
And what are the perf measurements?

It's not, but it sort of reminds me of the U.S. evergreen Christmas stamps from 2010.
How about a prototype of an overprint? (insert shrugging shoulder emoji)

I agree that it is simply someone doodling. People doodle in all kinds of ways...

This looks like an upside down drawing of the tree of life symbol.

Greetings to all,
Below is the back of the weird stamp.
Hope all may assist. Thanking all in advance.
Info that I observed are;-
- stamp seems to have lots of alphanumeric watermarks, just can’t figure it out.
- size is 3.75CM x 2.75CM edge of perforation to edge of perforation.
- design, branches resemble alphabets
Thank you

If observed closely, red circles indicates word ‘OS’.
Seen from all 4 directions it will still show ‘OS’
Don’t understand what is the inscription which is blended within the design.

I do not see "OS" anywhere.
Just accept that this is not a stamp and move on to something else.

I'll hazard a guess. It could be a stamp where only the black was printed. This is printer's waste that someone sneaked out of the printing plant. I'm not sure but I think that it is a good guess.
