Description
This stamp illustrates the emergence of the arts of fire and sedentary life through a background of Neolithic mud discovered in Kesra. Pottery, one of the major inventions of the Neolithic, allowed the storage of agricultural surpluses and marked a turning point in the domestic economy. The illustration features the archaeological sherd in a circular medallion against a background of vibrant geometric patterns. This subject highlights the ingenuity of the ancient inhabitants of central Tunisia and reminds us that the Tunisian ceramic tradition, still alive today, draws its sources from technical and aesthetic expertise dating back several millennia.
