Why the stamp was issued: Part of the Floral Geometry set issued to cover higher mail rates for packages, large envelopes, and other heavier items.

About the stamp design: Includes a watercolor background, foil-stamped details, and typography to create an elegant, ornate look. The design is intended to mimic the geometric patterns found in flowers in nature. The stamp was designed and created by Spaeth Hill.

First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Burlingame, California, at the Westpex Stamp Show.

About the Floral Geometry set: The first two were the $2 and $5 stamps issued in 2022. As the denomination increases, so does the complexity of the geometric design of the stamp, with the $10 being the most complex and $1 being the least complex up to 2024. All stamps include watercolor backgrounds and foil stamping. They were all created by Spaeth Hill.

History the stamp represents: Sacred geometry is a way of thinking that gives spiritual meaning to the shapes, patterns, and numbers found in nature. Some examples are easy to see with the naked eye, while others may be too small or (in the case of planets and stars) very far away.

The idea of sacred geometry dates back as far as ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. Some of its most famous scholars included Pythagoras and Plato. They believed that the principles of geometry were part of a larger equation that could explain the existence of everything. In 2010, Harvard mathematician Shing-Tung Yau declared geometry to be “one of the main avenues available to us for probing the universe.”

Some of the most common shapes in sacred geometry include triangles, circles, squares, spirals, and hexagons. These can be seen in natural phenomena such as snowflakes, snail shells, and flowers. Sacred geometry can also be found in manmade structures, especially religious buildings. Many religions and spiritual practices believe certain symbols can help with meditation or prayer.

From 2022 to 2024, the USPS issued four stamps picturing floral geometry. It goes to show math is in more places than we think!
