Description
This stamp highlights traditional basketry through the “Basket in Alfa”. The esparto is an emblematic steppe plant of the central and western regions of Tunisia, whose robust fiber has been used for centuries for utilitarian crafts. The illustration features a woven demijohn and a lidded basket, symbolizing the ingenuity of rural people who transform a wild natural resource into durable objects for food preservation. It is a celebration of an ecological artisanal heritage, a pillar of the local economy in the interior areas of the country.
