Issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1974, this Europa set features striking sculptures symbolizing art and European unity. The 30 Pfennig stamp depicts a modernist male figure in a standing pose, while the 40 Pfennig stamp shows a graceful kneeling female figure draped in cloth. Both designs highlight the theme of European cultural heritage under the CEPT (Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) initiative. These issues are part of the long-running Europa series, prized by thematic collectors for their artistic and symbolic depth.
