Description
This stamp presents the official logo of the event “Kairouan capital of Islamic culture 2009”. The stylized graphics incorporate fluid Arabic calligraphy which draws the shape of a horseshoe arch, an emblematic architectural element of the city. The choice of blue and gold colors evokes the spiritual richness and splendor of the city's manuscript heritage (such as the famous blue Koran). This stamp carries a message of cultural influence and dialogue, recalling that Kairouan, the first Muslim city founded in the Maghreb, remains a universal intellectual and historical reference.
