Description
This stamp is dedicated to “Klim (El Jem)”, a flat wool weave without velvet, emblematic of the nomadic and rural traditions of the center of the country. The visual displays a decorative repertoire rich in geometric patterns and horizontal bands in ocher, black and white tones, typical of artisanal production in the El Jem region. This type of rug is not just a utilitarian object for the home, but a work of folk art where each symbol tells a story related to protection or fertility. It highlights the importance of the pastoral economy and the transmission of hand weaving techniques from generation to generation.
