Description
This stamp represents an 18th century “Amphora” (Sarbiya), a centerpiece of ancient Tunisian pottery. Its slender silhouette and refined decor evoke Tunisia's Mediterranean roots, recalling ancient forms revisited by local artisans. Used to preserve oil or water, this jar demonstrates the ingenuity of traditional preservation methods and the persistence of a simple but elegant aesthetic that continues to influence the country's contemporary ceramics.
