Armenia's 2nd embroidery stamp
Only 4000 stamps released.
Description
Armenian carpets
On December 22nd, 2023, one postage stamp dedicated to the theme “Armenian carpets” has been put into circulation.
The embroidered postage stamp with the nominal value of 3000 AMD depicts a part of the pattern used in “Lori-Pambak” carpets.
The postage stamp has a unique format as it is fully embroidered and has a self-adhesive backing. The embroidery edge mimics postage stamp perforation.
“Lori-Pambak” carpet is characterized by cross-shapes pattern. This type of a carpet was especially widespread in the carpet-making centers of Gugark, Artsakh, Syunik as well as Vanand and Javakhk. However, it is mostly typical for Lori and Pambak. Therefore, the researchers consider that the name “Lori-Pambak” given to this type of carpets is justified.
