Description
This stamp commemorates the inclusion of the Medina of Tunis on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Hatem El Mekki's illustration uses strong symbolism: a protective hand (the Khamsa) contains the architectural jewels of the old city, notably the minaret of the Zitouna mosque and the domes of marabouts. Below, a craftsman at work evokes the economic life and artistic crafts that have enlivened the souks for centuries. This stamp carries a message of pride and collective responsibility for the safeguarding of an exceptional urban and human heritage.
