one stamp (Europa value = 3.90 €)
The stamp highlights the Jettböle idol, one of Åland’s most unique archaeological finds. The Jettböle idol has become a symbol of the Åland Stone Age. It was found in 1906 during the excavation of the 5000-year-old Stone Age settlement in Jettböle on Åland, which had been discovered by chance in 1905. The excavations revealed Åland’s first Stone Age settlement and changed the view of the prehistory of Åland. The significance of the clay idols of human figures from the Stone Age has been interpreted in various ways over the years, including as ritual objects.
