The stamp shows us a rowing boat without any crew, by comparing the vessel depict on the stamp with some wall paintings in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun is a Royal ship
The Egyptians believed that a boat was needed in the afterlife in order to journey to the heavens. Sometimes a small model of a boat was buried with a person. Often a full size boat was included in the tombs of Pharaohs and other wealthy Egyptians. There were 35 boats of some type in the pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb.
