Description
This 10 millime figurine highlights the making of traps, an artisanal know-how essential to the maritime economy of the Tunisian coastal regions, particularly in the Kerkennah Islands. The weaving of esparto or rush to create these fish traps demonstrates traditional and sustainable fishing, respectful of marine cycles. By dedicating this stamp to this manual profession, the Republic pays tribute to the ingenuity of artisan fishermen who perpetuate ancestral techniques, linking the cultural identity of the country to the preservation of the resources of the Mediterranean.
