Description
This program reproduces a work by the famous painter Yahia Turki, considered the father of Tunisian painting. It depicts a vibrant scene from popular folklore, probably a wedding or a local festival within a coastal village. We see traditional musicians (drum and flute players) surrounded by a crowd in traditional clothing and camels carrying richly decorated palanquins (j'hafa). This stamp celebrates the pictorial school of Tunis and the attachment to rural culture, capturing a moment of collective joy that defines the soul and social traditions of 20th century Tunisia.
