Description
This stamp celebrates Sbiba, a major cultural event in southern Tunisia, closely linked to festive and historical rituals where the cavalry plays a central role. The rider in traditional costume embodies the symbolic dimension of this tradition, associated with collective memory, the transmission of stories and the affirmation of local identity through gesture, movement and dress. The illustration translates a message of cultural continuity, highlighting a practice which goes beyond simple spectacle to become a vector of social cohesion and the preservation of living heritage, within the framework of a Tunisia attached to the richness and diversity of its regional traditions.
