Flora and Fauna. Ziziphus spinachristi

This program, illustrated by Elmekki, highlights the natural heritage and Tunisian children's folklore through the representation of the jujube tree (Ziziphus spina-christi). The image combines botany with popular joie de vivre, depicting two children in traditional clothing (gandoura, chéchia and festive finery) dancing enthusiastically. The poetic mention at the bottom of the stamp reinforces this cultural dimension by using the jujube tree as a metaphor for emotional and social bonds. The message highlights the transmission of traditions and the place of local plants in the Tunisian collective imagination, symbolizing a joyful identity, deeply anchored in its land and its oral heritage.
