Description
The illustration shows a “Terracotta Lamp” from the 1st century AD, decorated with a camel motif in relief on its central disc. This everyday object, essential for lighting ancient residences, symbolizes through its iconography the adaptation of populations to arid environments and the importance of caravans in trans-Saharan trade. By choosing this piece, Tunisia highlights the richness of its archaeological collections and the capacity of the simplest objects to tell the story of civilizations, their beliefs and their ways of life at the dawn of the Christian era.
