Description
This stamp illustrates the megalithic heritage of Tunisia through a dolmen from the archaeological site of Mactar. These massive stone funerary monuments, dating from late prehistory, reflect the beliefs and social organization of the indigenous Berber populations. By presenting this robust structure against a graphic background composed of stylized letters, the show bridges the gap between primitive architecture and modern identity. It is a tribute to the persistence of the sacred and the strength of the ancient builders who left a lasting mark on the landscapes of the Tunisian highlands.
