This definitive stamp features the Lithuanian coat of arms, known as the Vytis (the White Knight). The design showcases a stylized white knight on horseback, a national symbol representing Lithuania's long history and struggle for freedom. The background is a solid, deep red, which is the traditional color associated with the Vytis.
