Vardanank Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: Vardanank is the famous novel by Derenik Demirchian about the Armenian Rebellion against Persia in 451CE. The defining battle of Avarayr which Armenia lost, nevertheless convinced the Persians to allow Armenia to keep her Christianity, rather than accept the (at the time) Zoroastrian faith of Iran. The design uses the word Vardanank (in Armenian) to form the length of a sword.
