This stamp highlights the “rush basket”, an emblematic accessory of Tunisian daily life, particularly in coastal regions such as Nabeul. The illustration shows a modern bassinet decorated with a camel motif and contrasting geometric figures, blending tradition and contemporary design. Made from rush stems harvested in wetlands, the bassinet symbolizes a Tunisian identity attached to its roots and to an environmentally friendly mode of consumption. It represents the excellence of fine Tunisian basketry, recognized for its solidity and sober elegance.
