Armenian Ceramic Ornament Plate with Noah's Ark

Noah was commanded to build an ark to save him and his family during a time when evil prevailed. G-d decided to save him because of his righteousness and dedication. He was instructed to take a pair of each animal species-a male and female-along with his family. The universal symbol of peace is a dove with an olive branch in its mouth. After the flood in Noah's time, Noah sent out a dove to check if there was any sign of life on land again. Eventually, the dove came back with an olive branch in its mouth symbolizing peace and restoration to better days. G-d sent a rainbow as a covenant to Noah to promise that He will never flood the Earth again.

This wonderful plate can be used as a decorative ornament on the wall or as part of Christmas decorations along with others in the set.

Note: Armenian ceramics are delicate and should be treated with care. Each piece is individually hand made with the ancient skill of mixing and shaping clay and water and then placing the object in an oven or kiln at a temperature of 1000°C until it hardens. The piece is then beautifully hand painted with metallic and oxidized paint, maintaining a natural color and then placed again in the oven at the same temperature. The finishing touch is one of fine glazing.
