Description
Through this work by Yahia Turki (1903-1969), considered the "Father of Tunisian painting", the stamp illustrates a traditional shop where bunches of dates are suspended, next to jars of milk.
The consumption of dates accompanied by milk is a tradition of welcome and breaking of fast deeply rooted in Tunisia. Turki, with its post-impressionist style, magnifies this local business. The scene evokes temperance and the authentic flavors of Tunisian culinary heritage.
