Description
This stamp highlights a hammered copper bucket from the 19th century, coming from the craft centers of Sfax and Kairouan. The work of hammering, a demanding technique consisting of striking the metal to give it its shape and solidity, is celebrated here as a major component of Tunisian craftsmanship. This object, once essential in hammams or for domestic needs, carries the message of the robustness and intergenerational transmission of an artistic craft which has shaped the visual identity of Tunisian souks.
