Description
Illustrated by Ali Fakhet, this stamp features the Carob tree, a robust Mediterranean tree. We see the tree in its entirety as well as a detail of the leaves and a pod (the carob).
The carob tree is the symbol of resilience. Capable of growing in the poorest soils, it has long served as a food reserve. This stamp highlights a rustic species from the Tunisian forest heritage whose fruits are today rediscovered for their dietary virtues.
