Description
This stamp highlights Sejnane pottery, an ancestral know-how located in the north of Tunisia and listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. The illustration presents ceramic pieces with characteristic geometric and anthropomorphic patterns, whose natural red and black pigments recall millennia-old Berber traditions. Unlike wheeled pottery, these works are modeled by hand by women, true guardians of this identity memory. The stamp thus promotes unique rural craftsmanship, a symbol of cultural resilience and the aesthetic richness of Tunisian heritage.
