Description
This stamp highlights a jar from Djerba, a centerpiece of pottery from Guellala, an island village famous for its millennia-old turning traditions. The illustration underlines the sober and functional aesthetic of this object, often used for preserving olive oil or dry foods, decorated with simple geometric patterns in ocher and green. The message conveyed is that of a Djerbian artisanal identity anchored in the soil, where the know-how of master potters continues to perpetuate a Punic and Berber heritage essential to domestic life and the local economy.
