This stamp plunges us into the most distant roots of human presence in Tunisia with a Neolithic arrowhead discovered at El Borma, dating from around 3000 BC. The illustration highlights the finesse of the stone's size, placed on a geometric background in bright colors. This subject highlights the technical ingenuity of the first inhabitants of the Tunisian Sahara and the evolution of hunting and survival tools. It is a tribute to Tunisian prehistory, recalling that long before the great ancient cities, the territory was already a center of technical innovation and human adaptation.
