Description
This program highlights tenacity and indocility through the image of the goat (Capra hircus), accompanied by the saying “Elli taklou el m'za jedari... yetlaâ fouk m'hadbagh” (What the goat eats in the trunk, it pays for in its skin at the tanner). The illustration contrasts a wild and haughty goat in nature with its caricatured double devouring a branch in a carefree manner. This stamp evokes the pastoral heritage of Tunisia and the immanent justice of rural proverbs: each act of gluttony or imprudence has a future consequence. It is a celebration of Tunisian rural life where local wildlife serves as a support for moral education based on responsibility.
