Traditional costume for women from southern Tunisia, town of Douz

This stamp is part of the joint Euromed Postal issue dedicated to “Mediterranean Costumes”. It illustrates traditional Tunisian female clothing, richly decorated with embroidery and head and chest jewelry (silver or gold ornaments). The colorful veil and the cut of the dress testify to the elegance and artisanal know-how of Tunisian seamstresses. By participating in this series, Tunisia promotes its clothing aesthetic as a link between the cultures of the Mediterranean basin, celebrating the beauty of traditions that span time.
