🇦🇲Happy 35th Independence Day to our eternal Armenia!
Շնորհաւոր Անկախութեան տօն մեր յաւերժական Հայաստանին։ 🇦🇲
This plate depicting the Armenian Coat of Arms was made in the 1930s by the joint Balian-Karakashian workshop, established by Neshan Balian Sr. and Mgrditch Karakashian, founders of the Armenian Ceramics of Jerusalem, together with David Ohanessian in 1919.
The central motif is Noah's Ark perched on Mount Ararat; fitting for the world's first Christian nation.
Only two were made: one is in our museum in Jerusalem, and the other was donated to the Dzidzernagapert Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex.
