This scarf is based on fragments of Manuscript binding (Parzatumar, Caesarea, 2nd half of 18th century), which is kept in Museums of Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin.

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).

This scarf is made of 100% silk.

The dimensions of this product are 110 x 110 cm (about 43 x 43 in)
