Poetry Birds

Armenian legends and poems talk about birds as the divine messengers between Earth and heaven, using them as symbols of sacred power. But these elegant creatures are not only part of texts and narrations, as Shahe Harutyunyan's ceramic platter shows. The artisan works with traditional techniques to create the accessory in a glazed finish, embellishing the surface with cute birds in a palette of red and turquoise hues as a representation of their ethereal nature.
