Bodhisattva stamp

  
A person who has attained  Enlightenment, but who postpones Nirvana in order to 
help others to attain Enlightenment: individual Bodhisattvas are the subjects of devotion in certain sects and are often represented in painting and sculpture.

   
1-anna stamp depicts the Bodhisattva statuem but the image is reverse left-right. A corrected version of the stamp was issued in 1950.
I have few such stamps in my collection. It is shown below:
