Issued in 1970, this 0.80 Israeli stamp celebrates the nation’s modern architectural heritage and features the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem. Designed by Armand Bartos and Frederick Kiesler, the building’s distinctive white dome—resembling the lid of a clay jar—houses the Dead Sea Scrolls, among the world’s most significant ancient manuscripts. The stamp captures the structure’s harmony between ancient symbolism and modernist form, using a minimalist sepia tone to highlight its sculptural curves. A classic entry in Israel’s “Architecture in Israel” series, it reflects the fusion of design and cultural memory.
