Description
triangular in shape, this stamp illustrates an Aghlabid dish decorated with metal chandeliers from the site of Raqqada (near Kairouan). The pattern features stylized figures and geometric patterns of great modernity for the medieval era.
The Aghlabid dynasty made Tunisia a world center of artistic creation. This stamp pays tribute to the invention of ceramic with a metallic reflection, a technical and aesthetic feat which testifies to the refinement of Islamic civilization at the height of its glory.
