Issued in 1977, this attractive Israel commemorative stamp set celebrates ancient musical instruments of biblical and historical Israel, highlighting the cultural and ritual importance of music in early Jewish life.
The set illustrates three instruments: the Ancient Israel Lyre (2.00), associated with worship and poetic tradition; the Ancient Israel Jingle (5.00), a percussion instrument used in ceremonies and celebrations; and the Ancient Israel Trumpet (1.50), linked to proclamations, festivals, and religious rites.
Designed with detailed, museum-style artwork, the stamps reflect archaeological reconstructions and scholarly interpretations of ancient instruments.
Printed with clear bilingual inscriptions (Hebrew, Arabic, and English), this issue is popular among thematic collectors of music, archaeology, biblical history, and Middle Eastern culture.
An excellent thematic trio for collectors of cultural heritage, ancient civilizations, and Israeli philately.
