Description
This 70 millime Tunisian stamp, issued on August 29, 1960, highlights the art of carpet weaving, a historic pillar of traditional Tunisian crafts. The scene represents a loom and artisans at work, highlighting the wealth of know-how passed down from generation to generation. Weaving occupies an important place in Tunisian culture: it reflects regional identity, the harmony of patterns, the mastery of colors and the central role of family workshops in the local economy. By devoting a program to this craft, Tunisia promotes not only an ancestral practice, but also the creativity and precision which characterize Tunisian carpets, renowned for their quality and stylistic diversity.
