Description
From a series devoted to traditional costumes produced by Ali Bellagha, this stamp presents a female silhouette from Midoun, on the island of Djerba. The costume is distinguished by a large dark drape with red and orange stripes, complemented by the famous pointed straw hat typical of the island. This illustration highlights the island identity of Djerba, where clothing protects both from the sun and the sea wind. It is a celebration of a preserved rural aesthetic, where each weaving pattern tells of belonging to a community and centuries-old artisanal know-how.
