It is not a postage stamp. Perhaps someone else knows what its purpose is.

That's a cool one. It is a railways parcel stamp

Some additional information from an old edition of the magazine Philatelie (Dutch stamp periodical). Reading the article I found out that this stamp was a proof made by a local printer in the Netherlands Indies called "Reproductiebedrijf van de Topografische Dienst te Weltevreden", located in Weltevreden (the posh part of Batavia / Djakarta)
Comparing these proofs with what was produced for the Netherlands Indies by Joh. Enschede in Haarlem, it is a pity this company was not given any orders.

That is a very attractive "stamp", and I would love to see this and the rest of it's set in my collection. I do have a fondness for steam locomotives.
As a proof, I wonder why it has a postmark, and why it has an overprint; but no value or value tablets.

There is an English translation of the article referred to by Jansimon in Netherlands Philately, volume 17, number 1, pages 2-13. It is available online on the website of the ASNP (American Society for Netherlands Philately).
The article does give a bit of information on the stamp (seal?) shown by the OP.

This is the issue of the ASNP journal Jan referred to: http://asnp1975.com/back%20issues/ASNP.V ...
In it you can find an answer to almost all your questions, for instance why there is no value on this stamp (answer: it is a seal (cinderella))
What the article does not give, is proper pictures. Here are a few I found on a website that unfortunately is no longer active. I often make copies whenever I find interesting information because one never knows if / when such a site goes offline.
