Armenian inscriptions mention that the colorful tiles used in Jerusalem’s St. Hakobyants monastery are from Komitas’ homeland Kutahya. When conquering Jerusalem, the Egyptian sultan confused the monastery with a mosque and prostrated himself in prayer. Finding out the reality, he ordered the monastery to be destroyed. Knowing about his decision, Armenian monks convinced him only to remove the dome and seal the door. In this design, were used pieces of porcelain from Jerusalem’s St. Hakobyans monastery and fragments from “Urbatagirk” (The Book of Friday).

Queens have played proactive and vital roles throughout the Armenian history. They have not only been the faithful spouses and close supporters of the kings but often their worthy advisors. Armenian wise and prudent queens were highly influential in the critical periods of the country’s history. They advocated causes such as women’s education, freedom, and equality, even in the middle ages. Additionally, they were the primary promoters of cultural values. Ardēan designed shawls with Armenian ornaments and slices from St. Gregory of Narek’s prayers to embody the spirit of our queens’ nobility and splendor.
