The cachet artwork, printed in dark reddish-brown, depicts a covered wagon pulled by oxen or horses traversing the open plains, with clouds in the background, commemorating the 1893 Cherokee Strip land rush. A decorative text banner reading '1893 Centennial 1993 Oklahoma Cherokee Strip' with a running horse motif serves as the cancellation/pictorial postmark overlay. The 29-cent USA stamp depicts a rider on horseback during the Cherokee Strip Land Run of 1893. The cover features a bold blue pictorial cancellation reading 'Opening Ceremonies, April 17, 1993, Opening Station, Enid, OK 73701.'

The cachet artwork depicts a covered wagon pulled by oxen crossing the plains, rendered in dark reddish-brown ink, symbolizing the pioneer journey during the Cherokee Strip land rush. The stamp features a rider on horseback participating in the land run, with a denomination of 29 cents and the text 'Cherokee Strip Land Run 1893.' The bold blue pictorial postmark includes a running horse motif and text commemorating the opening ceremonies on April 17, 1993, in Enid, Oklahoma. Additional printed text on the cachet reads 'The Cherokee Strip opens for land rush settlement in 1893' and includes a 'CL Cachets' attribution.
