This stamp celebrates the exceptional refinement of the clothing heritage of Mahdia, a former Fatimid capital recognized for its traditions of excellence in silk weaving and gold thread embroidery. The illustration, signed by the artist Jalal Ben Abdallah, features a group of women adorned in their ceremonial costumes, highlighting the complexity of the adornments and the central role of women in the transmission of rituals and local elegance. The discreet presence of the sea in the background anchors the scene in the geographical context of this coastal city, while the richness of the motifs represented symbolizes the vitality of Tunisian craftsmanship. Through this program, the Republic promotes its artisanal heritage as a pillar of national identity, transforming traditional costume into a true historical witness to the splendor and centuries-old know-how of the communities of the Tunisian coast.
