Ref:  6934

It looks like aboriginal Australian art but it’s actually the inside lid of an Armenian village bridal box, the design is typical and features biomorphic and geometric symbols that have deep-rooted meaning within the marriage customs and concern the relationship of conjugal love to cosmic forces. It is rare.
