Description
This stamp celebrates the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), a true “tree of life” from the Saharan regions of Tunisia, by associating it with a dynamic female figure. The text “Qad el nakhla wal ârjoun!” » (The size of a palm tree and the bunch of dates!) refers to stature and generosity, while humorously evoking excess or imposing beauty. The illustration of a woman in traditional costume running with a mirror and a branch symbolizes the vitality and coquetry linked to the region. The message focuses on Saharan identity and the economic and cultural importance of the date, while paying tribute to the vigor of Tunisian women, pillar of the home and crafts in the oases.
