Description
This stamp is clearly inspired by the aesthetics of art and ancient traditions to celebrate mineral waters as a cultural heritage and lasting benefit. The hieratic posture and stylization recall the ancient civilizations which marked Tunisia, evoking a continuity between ancient knowledge and modern uses of water. Water appears as a sacred element, a source of well-being and regeneration, intimately linked to rites, health and daily life. The stamp thus places Tunisian water resources in a long memory, where historical heritage and contemporary exploitation come together to affirm a rooted national identity conscious of the symbolic value of its natural resources.
