Issued by Tokelau Islands in 1969 for the Christmas commemorative series, this 2-cent stamp depicts the Nativity scene inspired by the artwork of Italian Baroque painter Federico Fiori (Il Barocci). The design beautifully portrays the Holy Family illuminated around the infant Christ, reflecting classical European religious art traditions. Christmas issues from Tokelau are especially valued for combining sacred themes with fine art reproductions. This stamp represents early philatelic output from the Pacific territory under New Zealand administration. A desirable thematic piece for Christmas, Religion, and Art collectors.
