Issued to promote clothing heritage, this stamp presents a Jebba Khamri, an urban and refined version of the male costume. The illustration shows a man wearing this dark brown ceremonial dress with subtle stripes, decorated with gold embroidery at the neckline and bust, with the traditional red chechia.

The Jebba embodies elegance and Tunisian identity. It is worn during major ceremonies (weddings, religious festivals), testifying to artisanal know-how (tailors and embroiderers) which spans the centuries.
