From a series dedicated to traditional clothing heritage, this stamp presents a felt Jebba, a key piece of the urban male costume of Tunis. The illustration shows a man wearing this pale blue ceremonial dress, richly decorated with black embroidery in trimmings on the bust, and completed by a red coat draped over the shoulders. This stamp celebrates the know-how of Tunisian master tailors and embroiderers, transforming a functional garment into a work of textile art that embodies elegance and prestige on major social and religious occasions.
