Description
This stamp celebrates the art of dyeing, an ancient profession closely linked to the textile and urban history of Tunisia. The illustration depicts a universe of colors, movements and patterns that evoke the transformation of raw material into decorative fabric, a symbol of creativity and technical mastery. The architectural reference suggested in the background reinforces the anchoring of this activity in medinas and traditional craft centers.
