This stamp pays tribute to the fabric merchant, an emblematic figure of the souks and the traditional Tunisian economy. The illustration highlights the presentation of fabrics, their colors and patterns, highlighting the role of commerce in the dissemination of artisanal know-how and in urban social life. The merchant appears as an essential intermediary between production and use, embodying exchange, conviviality and the vitality of markets.
