Triticum aestivum, Common Wheat
This stamp was issued by the Royal Mail in 1963 in a series named
FREEDOM FROM HUNGER CAMPAIGN.
I can only suppose the stylized design is of Wheat
Another photo of a woman threshing grain in 1966 on the Lasithi plateau, Crete, Greece.
Here the buffalo are muzzled and it looks as if the process is more advanced than the first photo I posted .This time the threshing board , δοκάνι , is visible.
I have named the animals buffalo but really I have no idea.
