This stamp celebrates the human heritage and traditional attire of Mauritania through a striking, finely engraved double portrait of a Moorish couple. The illustration captures the man with characteristic thick, untamed hair wearing a traditional white tunic, positioned next to a woman draped in a classic headscarf (malafa), conveying a powerful message of dignity, mutual partnership, and cultural pride.
