Figurine of Akhtamar with Scarf

The elegant statuette embodies the legendary image of the Armenian princess Akhtamar, the heroine of one of the most poetic and tragic legends of Transcaucasia. The image is based on an ancient legend about Princess Tamar (also known as Akhtamar), who lived on an island in Lake Van. Separated from her beloved, she lit a fire on the shore every night to guide him. When the young man risked his life to cross the lake, the princess threw her handkerchief to him as a sign of love and hope. This gesture has become a symbol of loyalty, tenderness, and selfless love. Thus, the "Akhtamar with a Handkerchief" statuette is not just a decoration, but a small story about love, loyalty, and beauty, embodied in artistic form.
