This scarf is painted on a top quality Habotai silk (100% pure silk) in warm Armenian traditional colors of miniatures with professional quality silk paints.
Hand dyed silk is a universal gift – small and soft, unique and original, practical and realy beautiful.

This beautiful scarf is inspired by an amazing piece of art created by late Marie Balian of Jerusalem.

The Balian Family of Jerusalem has been producing exclusive hand painted ceramic tiles and pottery since 1922.
This makes them one of the oldest-if not the oldest- business in existence in Jerusalem.
The studio is currently being run by Neshan Balian Jr, whose grandfather Neshan Balian Sr came to Jerusalem in 1919 from Kutahya, Turkey.
Neshan Balian Sr. and Megerditch Karakashian- a master potter and artist respectively- were brought over to Jerusalem by the British government and David Ohanessian , who was a ceramist, linguist and head of the Kutahya Ceramic Association, to renovate the ceramic tiles of The Dome of the Rock.
