This scarf is based on Ashot (Deghdz) Hovhannisyan’s painting “Self-portrait in an antique crown” (1980-1985).

“Urbatagirk” (The Book of Friday), which is the first Armenian printed book, holds an important value in Armenian culture. In medieval ages, people believed in its healing power. The book was also used as a talisman to protect from the evil eye. Some jewelry was also considered as a talisman. By combining this tradition with the elegant Armenian jewelry, we created “Talisman Shawl,” which is intended to give power and strength to its bearer.
