a close look shows what seems to be a bureaucrat (based on the stamp and phone on the desk) hiding behind a mask of paper and with goat (devils?) horns coming out of the top.
What makes this art even better (to me) is that a bureaucrat had to approve this to appear on a stamp!
I loved it.

Funny thing is that in 1996 Poland was still in the comunism era, and yet, the censor released it to be published.

Please, drop my previous date part. The comunism ended in Poland in 1989. Too hot today to think clearly. :)
Dratt I didn't read the second before the first!
well ... at least noone knows who you are ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to fill in more cultural relevance to this
Hahahaha... I just got something from Poland Today after waiting almost a month while the package sat in NY USA. It had the same stamps. Thanks for posting this. Otherwise I would still be searching the web to find out if the stamp was actually 'real'.
