A breathtaking representation of the Armenian Goddess of Fertility is depicted in this exquisite handcrafted and hand-painted ceramic plaque created by Shahe Harutyunyan. The goddess is dressed in an elegant, flowing gown adorned with intricate motifs that reflect the rich tapestry of local culture. At the heart of her attire lies the emblem of fertility, a symbol of life's boundless abundance. Her mesmerizing eyes, reminiscent of the vibrant turquoise stone, are accentuated by striking jewelry. A crown gracefully adorns her head while a delicate veil cascades, adding an air of mystery and enchantment. This plaque that comes with a jute cord for hanging is not only a visual feast but also a meaningful piece of cultural significance.

"I was born in Aleppo in 1965, into an artist family. Inheriting my father's painting skills, I came to Armenia to study at Gegharves University, named after Panos Terlemezyan. I have incorporated many paintings that are dear to my heart into my own works, thereby expressing another world.
"After graduating from the academy, I began creating in Beirut and participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions there.
"In 2013, I moved to Armenia and co-founded Brutshen Pottery Studio. Continuing our beloved work in our homeland was one of the most significant decisions for us.
"In 2016, the Ministry of Culture awarded us the title of People's Master, and we represented Armenia at the Pottery Symposium in Lithuania.""
I am so delighted by this representation of an Armenian Fertility Goddess. It’s much more beautiful and impressive in person than photos can convey. The turquoise areas of the glaze are raised, for example … I just love it and can’t wait to display it among the other artworks in my collection!
