Description
This naturalistic stamp illustrates the Octopus, dynamically represented as it emerges from a submerged terracotta jar. Artist Sadok Ben Yacoub accurately captures the texture and suction cups of the tentacles.
The presence of the jar refers to the ancestral and ecological fishing technique used on the Kerkennah Islands. This program celebrates the ingenuity of Tunisian fishermen who use amphorae to capture cephalopods, testifying to an age-old harmony between man and the sea.
