Description: This vintage 2 c (2 centimes) definitive postage stamp was issued under the French protectorate administration of the Regency of Tunis (Régence de Tunis). The vertical landscape design is printed in a muted olive-green monochrome ink against a soft cream backdrop. The central vignette illustrates an Arab woman dressed in traditional long garments standing along a rural road, captured in a classic pose as she balances a large clay water jar on her left shoulder. The background depicts a traditional white-domed kouba (the tomb of a local saint) nestled among regional palm trees. The top border banner displays the text "TUNISIE . POSTES", while the initials "RF" (République Française) occupy a small square frame in the upper left corner, balanced by an Islamic crescent moon and star emblem on the right. The denomination is cleanly displayed inside a shield badge in the lower left corner. Tiny text along the lower edge credits the artistic design to A. Vérecque and the typographic printing plates to engraver A. Mignon.
