Description
This high face value stamp features the Red Lobster, an emblematic crustacean of deep rocky seabeds. Yosr Jamoussi's visual highlights the majesty of the animal with its defensive spines and its intense purple color.
Lobster is the jewel of the northern coasts of Tunisia (notably Tabarka and Bizerte). By giving it a value of 1 dinar, the Tunisian post office underlines its precious and rare nature. It represents the top of the pyramid of marine resources and the know-how of fishermen specializing in the capture of these exceptional specimens.
