Completing the Euromed series, this stamp presents a traditional Tunisian male costume, notably composed of the finely embroidered jebba and a wool burnous worn with distinction. The character also wears the chechia, emblematic national headgear. This visual celebrates Tunisian masculine elegance and the sustainability of textile and leather craftsmanship (babouches). It underlines the role of traditional clothing as a marker of identity and social refinement, while placing Tunisian culture in the common clothing heritage of the Euro-Mediterranean region.
