Ammar Farhat: “The Spinner”
This high denomination stamp features a work by Ammar Farhat showing a woman standing spinning wool using a spindle, in front of a studded wooden door.
Wool working is one of the oldest crafts in Tunisia, the basis for making rugs and traditional clothing. Farhat here pays tribute to the patience and dexterity of Tunisian women. The vertical composition and the simplicity of the decor reinforce the nobility of this centuries-old gesture.
