Issued by Austria in 1978, this 2.50 schilling stamp commemorates the regional exhibition “Gothik in der Steiermark” (Gothic in Styria) held in St. Lambrecht. The design features the poignant Pietà sculpture from the Abbey of St. Lambrecht, a powerful representation of Mary holding the body of Christ. The background showcases stylized Gothic floral patterns, enhancing the spiritual and artistic essence of the era. Engraved by Rudolf Toth, with artwork by A. Pilch, this stamp is a fine tribute to Austria’s medieval religious heritage.
