Description
Also designed by Hatem El Mekki, this stamp celebrates the joy of traditional games. We see a child on a wooden horse or a swing, surrounded by calligraphic motifs which are integrated into the silhouette of the animal. The graphic style, very dynamic and colorful, evokes fairs and popular festivals (Zarda). The text "Dejdak... Jachin..." refers to the onomatopoeia and songs that parents use to entertain little ones. It is a tribute to the carefree nature of childhood and the aesthetic richness of Tunisian handcrafted toys.
